I'll save you the trouble. After much research with credit cards, I have come to discover what Hunter Thompson refers to as ``a certain dark aspect to that arrangement''. FOR FREE indeed. ===================== Commercial announcement ================================= Concerning this recent trend in .amiga bantering my good name about. I've decided to capitalize on it. Trailing Edge Technologies is pleased to announce the following TETflame programme: 1) For a negotiated price (no quatloos accepted) one of our flaming representatives will flame the living shit out of the poster of your choice. The price is inversly proportional to how much of an asshole the target it. We cannot be convinced to flame Dennis Ritchie. Matt Crawford flames are free. 2) For a negotiated price (same arrangement) the TETflame programme is offering ``flame insurence''. Under this arrangement, if one of our policy holders is flamed, we will cancel the offending article and flame the flamer, to a crisp. 3) The TETflame flaming representatives include: Richard Sexton, Oleg Kisalev, Diane Holt, Trish O'Tauma, Dave Hill, Greg Nowak and our most recent aquisition, Keith Doyle. But all he will do is put you in his kill file. Weemba by special arrangement. Inquire within. -- Hotel USENET richard@gryphon.COM {...}!gryphon!richard gryphon!richard@elroy.jpl.nasa.gov
