The original poster was writing "If", not "//f."  He also likes to write
___                      |~~
 | hings like this, with |~~ ancy capital letters at the start of each
paragraph.  That's what Mr. Ashbrook was complaining about.  If you're
going to post a flame, at the *least* you should know what you're talking
about.

>What I cannot stand are jerks who have sigs as long as their messages!

What I cannot stand are people who have to tell the whole world what they
cannot stand.  Take this to e-mail; I don't want to have to watch you two
bicker, and neither does the rest of the world.

I don't want even one.  Stop.  Followups to alt.flame.
