Good start. Get our hopes up.

..but then you lose it. Any USENET reader with the mind of a parsnip
will check the newsgroups without requiring prompting from you.

I'm sorry, but you're mistaken. It's mindless sniveling toads who
can't outflame a three-year-old who drag down the net.

>PLEASE take this ridiculous discussion out of rec.arts.tv.soaps!

What, to make more room for all the other ridiculous discussions in
rec.arts.tv.soaps?

Gee, don't you think you were a bit hard on the Beav?

Since reacting to these posts only seems to propagate them, I suggest
this be the last post.

Obviously the newsgroups line was in error, so readers of
rec.arts.tv.soaps asked you edit the newsgroups line.  Not a hefty
request, actually quite reasonable.  And the reaction to the
profane diatribe was well put and well deserved.

It seems on the NET, that men with NO social lives, and obviously
psychological problems, and some women too, particpate in
nonsensical flaming.  They make up for their lack of a LIFE
by invading others.  We are not interested, and never will
be.

Your audience awaits you in alt.flame, now PLEASE stay out of
rec.arts.tv.soaps before someone has to write your sysadmin
who will direct you to read newusers.  Thanks.

Now this is a bit better. Still too damned polite, but better. With a
little work you may actually become a worthwhile human being. But
first lose the "Steve and Beth" bit. It sounds like something from a
soap opera.

Oh, please do.

BBOARD AND HAVEN'T FIGURED OUT ALL THE DETAILS YET.

Beth, you can't ask other netters to do something you aren't will-
ing to do yourself.  You xposted your message to all four groups 
including r.a.tv.soaps.  You would have been much better off post-
ing to alt.flame only.

Oh, Beth, don't be so coy.  We've all seen dozens of postings from
you in alt.flame in the last year.  Perhaps you'd care to expound 
on your own psychological problems for us?  Or tell us about your 
lack of a LIFE that you're making up for now by invading others?

Oohhh, what a nasty vindictive thing to say.  If you should happen
to write to anyone's sysadmin about this, dear, do make sure you 
point out that you are just as guilty as the person about whom you 
are complaining.

Obviously.
