Hooray for you, tough guy. How does it feel to be dragged down to the
lowest common denominator so easily?

If you are smart enough to figure out who the goof-balls are, why aren't
you smart enough to kill file them... or ignore them? No, you like the
battle and you begin to add just as much "noise" to the newsgroup as the
people you are fighting.

Is what some anonymous stranger says on a newsgroup important to you?
Someone you've never met and will probably never meet. Someone you
don't give a rat's ass about? What these people write is important to you?

Enjoy the good, ignore the doofuses. Don't become a part of the problem.

Oh... and I'll take a swipe at some of the doofuses every now and then
just because it is fun.... but I do it on my terms, not theirs.
