Now you see how easily humans can do things which upset other humans.

Jerry, this is the SECOND TIME you insult people on the net.
Now who do you think you are? You just can't stop, can you? Even so, I would
strongly advise you to keep a very, very low profile.

I didn't expect you to apologize for calling Uwe a 'bastard', but I thought
you would have learned your lesson NOT TO JUDGE ON OTHER PEOPLE in such
an unfriendly way.

Did you realize that Uwe might have made a mistake?
Do you never make mistakes?

It's about time we did the same with everything you say.

Ok. So maybe Uwe made a mistake.

Your mistakes however (insulting, crossposting) are much worse.

The difference is that you, Jerry Rocteur, never, nowhere, no way, nohow 
earned any credits on these newsgroups, whereas Uwe has earned a vast amount
of credits. Uwe can afford to make a mistake and not being flamed to hell
because of it. You just lost even the default amount of credits everybody
starts with, and you have certainly done greater harm to netland than Uwe
can ever do.

It's your own decision to fetch your news from the States. There are 
cheaper, local alternatives, no doubt. So don't mention the cost of 
your transatlantic phone calls.

Imagine the cumulative, extra cost Jerry has to pay for transmitting his 9
line .sig time and time again....

Let's start flaming him because he apparantly thinks other people don't have
to pay for receiving it. --- NOT!
