- Once you have been here a bit longer you'll find that some irritating things
- happen again and again and again. These things include:
-
- - postings with the sole purpose of slamming your favorite machine
- - large binary postings which have 0 relevance to you
-
- and many many others. And as you are exposed to these things over and over
- again you'll find that you too will be mightily irritated by them - so much
- that you'll really want to send the guy a few coredumps in uuencoded format.
-
- Were you the guy who send a disk full of GVP stuff? That tripled my download
- and incidentally my phonebill. This adds to irritation too - not everyone
- can pick and choose messages, some of us *must* download first and read and
- select later.
-
- You say you didn't know - then find the person who let you get on the net
- without an introduction and tell him he is inadequate. He should have
- instructed you on proper netiquette.

- Well, as long as you learned from it...
