[net.wanted] What's a Flamer?

pete@stc.UUCP (11/04/85)

No, not the sort that spreads Fear And Loathing.

I've come across the term in Doonesbury (the UK newspaper The Guardian
carries it), and it puzzles me.

It seems to be some kind of student character.

I can catch most of the jokes in Doonesbury (I think), but the occasional
transatlantic expression catches me out.

Please respond via e-mail.

Perhaps this should have been posted to net.internat :-) (Ow, arrgh,
the flames, the flames!)
