	Kevbo...
		Be they racists or not, the bottom line is that
	they are nothing but poser-shit and do not belong in
	alt.rock-n-roll.metal.heavy!  Whether you like GnP or
	not, please stop posting about them!  This discussion
	has become so annoying and has gone on long enough.
	Take it to email or alt.r-n-r.
