First of all, it's nice to know that my rule of thumb has been
validated once again; only utter scumbags try to redirect messages to
the bit bucket by using unmentioned Followup-To lines.  Let's hope this
obnoxious and childish practice dies out soon.

Fido, Fido, now let's see, I could swear that name was already taken
in networking....

Typographical error 1.

"Do his time"?

Perhaps this should be classified as a Freudian slip instead.

Boy, Chuck, people are really going to be impressed when they get one
of these semi-literate messages, you betchum.

All of them could beat you in any argument without raising a sweat?

Yeah, I thought that was it.

No wonder your reaction to their presence is to stick your fingers in
your ears and scream "I'M NOT LISTENING! NO ONE ELSE BETTER LISTEN TO
THEM EITHER!"

Grow up, fatboy.
