[net.misc] seeking advice: a paean to netnews

reg (04/14/83)

Dear Abby,
  Is it true that in "North Dakota" there is a "weeerd" phenomena that occurs
when residents of the town of Trivia, in the "who-gives-a-damn" section, hang
their "socks" out to dry under the "peculiar street lights" that are
ubiquitously placed at unstategic points. Now some people "religiously"
follow this "philosophy" ad nauseum, which includes the religious, areligious,
antireligious, and those who are precariously balanced nowhere between - each
"preaching" their own vacuous "argumentia" (it is not in the dictionary).
		Sincerely, for as far as it goes, considering inflation and
		the impact of inflationary trends and its consequent
		ramifications, and not afraid to sign with my full title and
		heraldic charm, although with temerity and timidity, sometimes,
		I boldly and with reservation exclaim my identity,
		  BARON MUNCHAUSEN
PS: I am not really the Baron. I was carried away by the Galactic Trilogy
and mentally weary from the bull---- I have been reading in Netnews.
PS: If my brief sign-off (I suppose the spelling, structure, and usage of this
compound word could touch off a whole series of articles - don't bother, I
have it patented, or at lest pending) suggests cuteness, fearlessness,
defiance, sophmorism,......., then I have missed my goal, which is to sing the
off-tune (another debateable expression) praises of a few "netters", who thrive
on filling the net with countless mental masturbations. They will
immediately recognize the similarity of content and/or style and are the only
ones whom I expect to take umbrage;i.e.; get pissed off.
