In a previous article in the wrong newsgroup, mollycoddle@iastate.edu (Marc N Barrett) whines, mewls, rants, raves, and bitches:

You idiot.  A TV set is more than just a 15KHz monitor.  My old 1080 
certainly doesn't pick up "Leave it to Beaver" without the assistance
of a tuner.

Even if you are correct about something, you're still the biggest jerk to
ever infest the net.

I'd bet that most of the flames were more the result of you being such an 
asshole than anything else.  

Why do you insist on polluting the regular newsgroups with your oral 
defecation?  Do you really think that anyone wants to hear the absolute
crap that you so love to spew?  It's too bad that your mouth seems to
have a case of diarrhea instead of constipation.

I'm taking some insightful person's advice and leaving your .sig intact so
that other poor souls don't have to read your absurd postings.
