I am appalled at the excessive perpetration of chicanery taking place in this news group. Initially, net.suicide held great potential for reaching the absolute nadir in tastefulness and intelligence. This potential has never been realized due to the meaningless drivel spewed forth by the likes of rabbit!bimmler, et al. If this cascade of fetid effluvia were not enough, I recently discovered that several articles are being authored by an AI project! I am refering, of course, to the articles that supposedly were written by a 'Bob Flandrena' at BTL Columbus. My suspicions were first aroused by a rather questionable 'Flandrena for DMTS' campaign that breifly swept through this site. As anyone in Columbus can verify, Flandrena's name does not appear on the doors of any office here. The final convincing proof of my hypothesis came when I visited the ALLEGED office of 'Mr. Flandrena'. The two people in the office admitted to receiving sporadic inquiries pertaining to Flandrena's whereabouts. Yet, they were equally baffled having never actually seen, or even spoken to this phantom programmer. I still haven't located the instigator of this fraud, although I have my suspicions. Suffice it to say that the gaul of this individual is incredible. Bob Platt x4850 P.S. Please send all replies to your local bit bucket (/dev/null).
