Amazing!
Fantastic!
I've been laughing to tears for the last twenty minutes.
Incredible!
At times like this I am sorry that I didn't choose sociology
instead of physics. :))))
Here it is again!
In about year and a half of being a happy *BSD user and following
first comp.unix.bsd and then comp.os. groups, I am being fascinated
again and again by this phenomenon: one completely illiterate and
meaningless post brings an AVALANCHE of replies, some of them wise,
some of them not. What I don't understand is: people, don't you
REALIZE? How many times will it take before everyone just ignores
such behaviour? Take the time you spend putting together the reply
and post another patch for these wonderful tools we're all using.

Jesus, whatever they tell you, you do present us with a marvelous
material for a sociology thesis. :)

Happy Everything,
Dejan
