- No, jackass. Perhaps you could provide some evidence to back up your latest

- No, it's a non-existent group used only for rhetorical purposes. The proper
- subscribers to that group are people are who think that:
- 1) The world works by magic; and
- 2) You break the magic if you introduce any "bad vibes."
- You seem well-qualified as a potential subscriber.

- As the rest of the post from the jackass to whom I'm responding is of a similar

-
- This about sums up the jackass's attitude toward computers. I suppose he'd
- also claim that the code in a program isn't important, as long as you've run it
- through a beautifier program to make it look nice.
-
- >How do you know how much ____ ____ I know about computers? This must be why
- >you are one of the GREAT ONES. You are telepathic. Sorry, I didn't realize...
-
- Sell, moron, since you've just claimed that "it's not what you say, it's how
- you say it," and since you've just posted that to what's supposed to be a
- technical newsgroup about computers, I conclude that you don't know jack shit
- about computers.
-
- Since the rest of his drivel is in a similar vein, and he *STILL* has yet to
- post anything with any technical content, I'll not comment on the rest of the
- shit he's spewed forth.
-
- >Well, this HAS been fun, but I really don't have much time for fun. I have

-
- Right Stan. You said the same thing last time. Why should we assume you're
- less of a liar now than then?
