Leo then flames himself:

I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, if in addition to
the standard flaming of *other* people, everyone also starts flaming
*themselves*, then the amount of net bandwidth consumed could rise
exponentially.

On the other hand, maybe if everyone flames themselves, other people won't
bother, since it's already been done so well, so maybe it'll actually
cut *down* on the amount of wasted bandwidth.

What do you think? Oh, Leo says "yes.". Now Leo says "no." Now Leo
says, "Leo, you ignorant sl*t..."

Hey guys, could you straighten this out with yourself/yourselves via
email??? :-) :-)
