I want a newsreader which anyone can install over the network onto any
machine at iastate which flickers the screen at a hypnotic rate whenever
some moron tries to post and then slowly steps up the voltage of the
keyboard until his fingers gets stuck on by the current and his body
turns into a writhing, twisting epileptic mass of smoking flesh.

However, many posts are stupid.

Yes, I've been having problems lately in my project to write the
very stupidest post to usenet possible.  I'm just not enough of
a clueless newbie to write an article suggesting that I can do
better than established software professionals and that they should
give me their intellectual property for free.  I'm also not dumb
enough to hand-crosspost an article to every single newsgroup in
the heirarchy, or even to call all the newsgroups in the heirarchy
"unix wide bbs'".  And I can never work up the courage to write
a ridiculously dumb article and set the followup to poster.  Yet
now, with the advent of Babak "about to get thrown off the Usenet,
if not out of school itself" Sehari -- a self-declared master
of software innovation if only he could get the ideas -- I see
that this niche has finally been filled.

Speaking of "part of history," I'd like to award you with the title
of "most likely to be #457 to get booted off the usenet for being
just too damn stupid."

i.e., tell me what you want, write code for me, and tell me how to
use it, right?

Actually, while we're on the topic, I want a Nissan RX-7 with
the racing options and a freely distributable copy of SysVR4 that
runs on standard twelve-button telephones.  I also want a million
dollars and ...huge pectoral muscles...

Bye bye, babak.

or maybe it isn't.

Could you please approve comp.unix.misc?  We're waiting on your
signature, man.  And thanks for the suggestion about the moderator
of rec.humor.funny -- I suspect she's thankful you cleared that up
for her.
