Good, I see Oleg the Red had a chance to change the Follow-Ups: line to
alt.flame.  Nice move.  I'll leave the Newsgroups: line the way it is.  That
should keep the normal people in soc.women, soc.motss and so on from getting
pissed off about my calling Oleg a flaming asshole or bulbious prick.

First, to address this ignorant f*ck as an ignorant f*ck.  Look you ignorant
f*ck, I don't keep up with what pet groups have formed on the net.  I prefer
to spend my time reading useful stuff.  Like the latest nethack postings,
or rouge patches.  Who or what "HASA" is means precious little.  What you
Mikki, JJ and the rest of the "HASA"ians do to hack off the Falwell crowd
is your business.  That doesn't mean the rest of us keep up to date with it.
Sure, "HASA" has been around a while.  Do you actually think I give a shit?
Do you think I have a copy of the group charter sitting on my desk to refer
to should I need to judge a posting against official "HASA" standards?  I
suppose "HASA" members take a pledge of non-flammage or something.

An ADVICE - what kind of English is that?  I suspect the reason my latest
Quadratron tape is worthless comes from this great command of the english
language and grammar you have.  How the software works?  I suggest you talk
with YOUR COMPANY and find out why YOUR software doesn't work.  If I could
get UNIPLEX II+ to print, I'd scrap Q-Office in a heartbeat.  And just for
pissers, maybe I'll spend some time working on the problem.  And then send
a letter to Tom Freil letting him know his employees are busy bothering
customers instead of fixing bugs in software releases.  At least I spent
some time trying to find out who posted the original piece of rubish.  All
you can do is bitch and complain.

Pissed off and irate in Dallas -
