  Listen, Froglips: you *were not* posting in this group "back
when".  This group is alt.flame, *not* net.flame. If you had been
bothering to pay attention, you would have discovered that this
particular group came into existence because of the
Wiener-Maroney War. Your eructations, if sufficiently amusing or
in some other way noteworthy, I will condecend to notice.  But
just remember--this is "alt.flame", not "net.oldtimers". If you
can flame, then flame. If you can merely splutter, we *real*
flamers have better things to do, OK?
