Hey look Bub.  This is UNIX!  There ain't supposed to be anyone there
to answer your stupid questions.  And there already HAS been
a newsgroup set up for stupid questions.  It is called talk.religion.misc.
Try in there, ok?

There is, of course, another chance for you to get ALL your stupid
net.questions answered.  Sign up NOW for the RLRCLC (Richard L. Rosen
Computer Learning Center).  There you will learn ALL the net.stupid
questions.  Mention I sent you and you receive a free Rich Rosen
secret decoder key ring.  Pay up front and receive the secret protocol
handshake.  Post before midnight tomorrow!

p.s.  Posting dweebish things will cause various natural disasters to
occur very close to your posting site.  So watch out, ok?

OK, who in Montebello posted something dweebish?  huh?  huh?  (although I have
it on good authority that the earthquake was just a simulation by professors
at Pomona College)
