FLAME ON:

If there is one thing in the world that pisses me off beyond imagination
is posting one line and EIGHT f*&^%$& pages of an entire article quoted -
an article that was posted here just TWO days ago.  Read the f**&$#*
group for newbies before you start posting and learn how to post.  Now
I know why some administrators set up news software to reject articles
with quoted material larger than new material - it's for you.
