I guess somebody is getting their messages canceled and is in a bad
mood over it. Ohhhhh, Somebody must have a case of the Mondays...

Maybe the person posting all this nonsense ais having their messages
canceld for good reason. It's called anti-spam. I think whoever this
person is must be a teenager with entirely too much time on their
hands and nothing better to do but post messages like that to the
usenet.

The only reason they don't put a proper name to the posts is because
they wouldn't last a day in the real world before they would be listed
on the Jimmy Hoffa list with the authorities.
