set FLAME="ON, GAMMA-RAY INTENSITY"

This message would take 12 minutes to transmit at 300 baud! 12 minutes at
$.25/minute (long distance rates) for 300 sites would be $1200!

(or are you just trying to be one of the top 25 news submitters, by volume?)

$1200 could be used to feed 60 starving children in Asia for a month!  If you
really care about children, you will refrain from posting messages like
this.  Consider your hand THOROUGHLY slapped!

You could save everyone the expense and keep your greats to THREE lines,
at most!
