Nonsense, everyone is asking basic questions all the time, If no one did
that, every newsgroup would quickly die a sudden death. Only a complete
idiot like Tom Sherman would ever go to the archives.

NEVER answer anything via email. You may get yourself murdered that way.
By the way, 99% of all posters never add anything new. They just rehash and
rehash until you want to puke.

I would say that at least 20% of all messages on Usenet are somewhat
flaming. It is because we men have more testosterone than we know what to do
with. Only women do not flame, unless they are dykes of course.

Again, nothing but more nonsense. Those idiots in Australia need to have
their asses kicked on a regular basis since they are so g.d. stupid.

The subject line will have absolutely nothing to do with what is being said
after the initial post. Even an idiot like Tom Sherman knows that much.

No one does any of the above **** - and why should they? It is just all ****
anyway!

If there weren't any flames happening, these freaking newsgroups would all
die of terminal boredom.

Who is this ******* Mike Iglesias anyway and what is he doing here? Does he
have some official capacity or is he just your ordinary busybody who thinks
he knows what is best for us?
