  Nick, I'm afraid you don't understand. Every three months comp.sys.mac and
some other newgroup have a huge dicussion about why the mac is or isn't better
then X. Most of the people who read this newsgroup full-time have realized
this and have written program under u(why does everyone put a star here?)nix,
to post the same messages every three months. If you like I'll send you diffs
from the "Letter To Penthouse Generator" program to make it into the "Flame
war with newgroup X" program, additionally, the net gods have noticed this
and modified the sources to rn so that it will soon automatically generate
such messages on-site, so as not to waste net bandwidth. Eventually they hope
to expand this to all newsgroups so people need not post messages at all...
 Pierce Wetter  Everything I say is true, HONEST! If you don't believe me send
me five dollars....
