No doubt indentation is a painful facet of life for the
trepanised likes of Donny Boy Baldwin.

Without wanting to be WantonlySexist, a relationship is an
excellent way of relieving those pressures, little hormone addled
Don.

Peeve:  Not being able to manage it more than three times in an
 	average day.

Woolly mammals?  If you're collecting them in cups, then they're
called _gerbils_, Don.  Perhaps you were mistaking them for
Mammoths.  They're generally called 'Sir'.

Program LAME IBM PC's on a LAME LAN running MICROSOFT LAN MANAGER
2.1a.  It's a job, and it's more interesting than working with
bloody MVS on Amdahl iron.  If I never see 'IEFBR14' ever again,
it will be too soon. Too bad the Cyber mainframes were junked.
NOS/VE was getting to be pretty cool. Never mind, Control Data
died a death in Australia.

As for posting from work:  alas, I have no network connection
from work.  :-( Deem peeves included.

Oh, really Don, I don't give a fuck. I post statistics because it
pleases me to do so. I do it because I want to. If you think
they're just a vast waste of space, then killfile them. Or me.

*I* don't have anything resting upon acceptance within a froup,
fuckface.  If I wanted sycophantic toadies, I'd write cloying
saccharine laced missives to alt.callahans, and bask in the glory
of weak minded fools, living in someone elses adventure
playgound.

Ever see the film 'Reds'?

I can imagine you as the squawling brat

		"I don't want to play in your yard

Carpe diem, little man. And if my pleasures involve you going
over your quota for news for the day, then that's really sad. 

> Or did you write a program to count the lines for you?  If there's one thing

An offshoot of my first C program written to do a significant
task on my Amiga.  Compunerdygeeky but true.

Feh indeed.  In Australia you're allowed to own guns.  There's
just these laws against using them to shoot people.  Apparently
you yanks are so trigger happy that there are 20,000+ deaths a
year by shooting.  In Oz the figure is less than 100 people
killed per year.  Do the calculations for killings/year.
20,000/250,000,000 = .008%.  In Oz the ratio is 100/20,000,000 or
about .00045%

A couple of orders of magnitude less of a problem.

But you just keep on being happy that lunatics can freely acquire
weapons and go out and have a wow of a time, shooting everyone
who doesn't fit their image of what constitutes a valid human
being.  You can HAVE the American crime rate, Don.

The can be shot from other angles too, but I digress,

Have you been taking ethnocentricity lessons from Kevin Walsh and
Troll in alt.flame?

Take it to alt.i.have.been.buttfucked.
