- Just because it used to be a well-written, interesting, funny, clev-
- er garbage heap does not negate the fact that it is indeed a garbage
- heap, dear.

- Well, if nothing else, at least Kebbin is no longer trying to force
- people out of alt.flame because he doesn't think their postings live
- up to his private standard.

- Overall, a pretty pathetic attempt, Kevie. Try again?

- Darcy, feel free to call me terminally stupid any time you
- like. I've read your pompous little me-so-smart-me-so-right
- postings and you are flat out wrong. But you like getting
- flamed so you just keep hanging in there. It gets you going.
- It's better than Kona coffee in the morning to you.
-
- You ought to stop standing on street corners with your copy
- of the USENET rules to try and show why it's okay for you
- to cross-post where you shouldn't and get yourself some
- professional help.
