- Interestingly enough, Scott, ANYTHING is allowed on this group,
-
- HOWEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
- What is preferred is a lot of innane discussions about things that most
- people don't give a horse's ass about. Basically, a good rule to have while
- reading rec.humor is to not read ANYTHING thats subject line begins with the
- following : "RE: ", because when you start getting interested in the
- schlock in these postings, that's when you KNOW that you're hooked on
- rec.humor. This can be VERY dangerous. You can AND WILL spend many hours a
- day reading/replying/forwarding/extracting/cut and pasting/setting up
- kill.files/etc/etc/etc and I PROMISE that you'll hate yourself in the end and
- will become a recluse and even MORE of a nerd than you already are.
-
- I should know.
-
- I spent the first half of this year being ADDICTED to this group.
- Coming into the university, ignoring my students, going STRAIGHT to the
- computer, sitting down and PRAYING that our news server wasn't on the blink. On
- those days when it WAS on the blink, I would go home and eat 2 pints of Ben and
- Jerry's ice cream and go straight to bed. I'm currently involved in a 12 step
- program called NETHUMOR ANONYMOUS. This group of courageous adults is trying to
- help me piece my life back together so that I will NOT spend all those wasted
- hours sitting on my arse reading superflourous drivel spouting from the
- international keyboards represented here on this group.
-
- Oh, shit.........
-
- I think I'm having a relapse.......
-
- goodbye, Scott, best of luck to you, poor sucker....
