Oh Thomas! It's true! The Germans do have NO-FUCKING-SENSE-OF-HUMOR!
You, Mr SHIT-FOR-BRAINS, are EMPIRICAL-EVIDENCE for this hypothesis.

Thomas, do you know what a BLUE-MOON is? Well if not, let me inform you:
a BLUE-MOON is the day on which you TAKE-YOUR-HEAD-OUT-OF-YOUR-ASS.
Y'know what I'm saying Thomas? I have a feeling that your head is
THERE-TO-STAY.

|Isn't that an inappropriate followup or crossposting either? Even if this would be
|a real suggestion, why do you not recommend just unsubscribing these 'froups?
|(Well, this would lead to crossposts since posters always want to be noticed :-(!)

"Inappropriate followup or crossposting either"? Lets go back to school
Thomas. First we'll take a look at the headers to my original message:

|Newsgroups: alt.config,alt.good.news
|Followup-To: alt.config
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
So Thomas, Mr Twit, Mr POT-CALLING-THE-KETTLE-BLACK. Who the fuck are
you to whine about inappropriateness and cross posting when you
explicitly override the followups to share your whinging
with the folks in alt.good.news. Where is the GOOD-NEWS? Where
Thomas? Where? Up your BACKSIDE is where. Keeping your head company.

And Thomas, I'm now going to show how "poor" my "knowledge" is of "UseNet"
and quote some personal email for you. HIDEOUS-NET-CRIME-TIME. I'm sure YOU,
MR-ALT-GOOD-NEWS-WHINING-TWIT, will recognize the name:

:
|I don't read alt.config.  Will you crosspost to a.g.n, the good news
|being that solutions to the problem are being proposed?

[For those of you who don't possess Thomas's immense knowledge of
"UseNet", Dave Sill "keeps an eye" on alt.good.news to ensure that
articles really do contain GoodNews[tm]]

And my reply:

|Okay -- but if anyone mails me and complains about my posting containing a
|lack of GoodNews, then I'm going to say "Yeah, but Dave Sill said it was
|okay". BTW, my suggestion is humorous, but I imagine that someone may
|think it is a good idea and actually do it. Who knows? Altnet is
|populated by the strangest people.

As you can see, I had anticipated strange people who may have though
that my idea was actually a good idea. What I hadn't anticipated was
the fact that there are a number of HUMORLESS-TWITS on the net. In case
you're having trouble following this Thomas, when I say HUMORLESS-TWIT,
I am referring to you. Let me appeal to your sense of humor by writing
some code to state this fact (I know you'll find this funny Thomas):

HumorlessTwit := "Thomas F. Gritzner";		{pascal}
HumorlessTwit = "Thomas F. Gritzner";		/* c */
$HumorlessTwit = "Thomas F. Gritzner";		# perl
HumorlessTwit="Thomas F. Gritzner"		# /bin/sh
set HumorlessTwit = "Thomas F. Gritzner"	# /bin/csh

HA HA HA HA. Now that's funny, isn't it Thomas. I think I've finally
sussed your SOPHISTICATED-SENSE-OF-HUMOR.

|Is your knowledge about UseNet that poor?

Clearly Thomas your knowledge of USENET is IMMENSE. I can see this from
the way you include ":-(" in your text. I realize that you need to use
these as your head has taken a PROCTOLOGICAL-JOURNEY where the sun
doesn't shine and thus cannot be seen by the naked eye.

I prostrate myself before your IMMENSE-KNOWLEDGE-OF-USENET. Let us all
bow down to Thomas, KING-OF-USENET. MASTER-OF-SMILIES. HUMORLESS-GERMAN-TWIT.

But Thomas, do I see a gap in your IMMENSE-KNOWLEDGE-OF-USENET? Tell me
it can't be so. Tell me you KNOW that it is FUCKING-CLUELESS to put
MORE-THAN-79-CHARACTERS-ON-A-LINE. Tell me. Tell me.

|So, would you mind sending such inane posts as this one of yours to one of the
|following 'froups to be generated (and kept up alive by Bruce Becker :-()

"'froups". You kill me Thomas, you really do. And another ":-(". You are
special. Your knowledge of USENET is IMMENSE. IMMENSE.

|... alt.inappropriate.followup.meta
|... alt.inappropriate.crossposts

Thomas, is this a twinkle of HUMOR I see before me? Tell me it can't be so.
I'd nearly written you off as a HUMORLESS-GERMAN-TWIT.

|or just to a (this time very senseful and very seriously suggested) 'froup like
|
|... alt.good.news.d

BA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA. Good one Thomas. KING-OF-USENET. KING-OF-COMEDY.

|since you all don't like posts employing which posts are real good news and which
|are not.
|
|Sue me.

No Thomas, FUCK-YOU.

|The last suggestion was the good news; if you don't feel so, let's see
|us again in ``alt.good.news.d''.

Just make sure you xpost to alt.humorless.twit.thomas.f.gritzner, that
way I'll be sure to see your articles.

|Cheers!

You are SUCH-A-FUCKING-TWIT Thomas. Has anyone told you that before? Your
cheeky use of the exclamation mark really hammers the point home for me.
I can almost visualize you hitting "y" as you incorrectly answer the
"Are you sure..." message. You FUCKING-TWIT.

Tx. [on the flex]
