1. _I_ hate it when people post messages using uncalled-for expletives!

2. A few days prior to the message you cite Rob DeMarco posted a message
   describing SBBS as a UNIX-based BBS. If you don't read news regularly,
   or if your news feed is less than reliable so you don't get all messages,
   that's not Rob's fault and certainly does not justify outbursts like that.
