- Don't you hate it when some newbie you've never heard of posts some stupid
- signature, and when you warlord it, they claim it was bait. Yeah, right.
- It's happened to me here and in alt.folklore.computers - somebody who's
- never posted before, or at least not enough so that I'd recognize thier name
- claimed something they posted was bait.
-
- Get a clue people: If you haven't been around long enough so that people
- know you, then nothing you do can be counted as bait. If you claim it was
- bait, then it just sounds like stupid after-the-event rationalization.
-
- Free clue: In this group, you're not ready to bait until you've exchanged
- so much mail from one or more of the ``inner circle'' that your mailbox is
- getting dangerously overfull.
