Really?  You know, you're so stupid that if you didn't exist someone
would probably have to invent you.  Hey, that's it!  Poser is just an
experiment in Artificial Stupidity!

Bait?  Poser (what an appropriate name) must assume that I CARE about
the Bozoids from talk.bizarre.  Hey, this is EASY to do, Poser old
knosh.  I may even automate it and make it even more effortless.  Any
non-bozoids in talk.bizarre will eventually arrive at the conclusion
that you Bozoids are the problem.  Then what, [P|L]oser?

You bet, old Posturer.  Right back where you'd like it and where
several other denizens of talk.bizarre DON'T want it.  So, what will
you do when it sinks in that YOU are the cause of the problem?

Who cares?  Intellectual paucity, childishness, etc., somehow seems
APPROPRIATE for folks like you.  Don't you get it yet?

Or once you do, of course.  Funny how that works, isn't it?

That's fine.  I have ZERO problem with being in the kill files of
EVERYONE in talk.bizarre.

Gee, I don't know.  You seem to think so.  After all, you keep
pursuing it with me and *I* sure don't care about you or your
opinions.

All the creativity the occasion seems to deserve, old sock.

Gee, obviously for the same reason you do.  But then, I think the
whole net (including talk.bizarre) already knows that YOU need to get
a life from somewhere.  I guess the real question is FROM WHERE?
