- Hey, gee, isn't this nice. This dipstick turkey thinks he's the
- moderator of comp.unix.shell. And wow, you know, he can't even
- manage to stand up and be counted under his _real name_!! `Mr
- Sandman'? What kind of crap is that? Look, buddy, if you are
- going to presume to tell people how to behave on Usenet --
- people, for that matter, who were using Usenet while you were
- probably not even thought of yet -- the least you can do is
- use a real name and a real address. Oddly enough, the Domain
- Name System doesn't know "cray.csc.ncsu.edu". Now why doesn't
- that surprise me?
-
- If you are too afraid to admit to your identity, and too afraid
- to supply an address that works, then KEEP YOUR IDIOT MOUTH SHUT.

- It's nice to see some of us can still recognise irony.

- [ObNonFlameContent: As has already been pointed out very cogently,
- by Mark Brader among others, the point here is that you don't just
- leap into a a group and start posting. You read it for a while first.
- That's why it is, indeed, legitimate to be peeved when a thread
- recycles after a lull of four days -- indeed, before the original
- thread had quite died, as we later saw.]
