Yo, Snit. We're not pals. I think you're a git.
But I give you the benefit of the doubt because
you're a Maccie. If you're a Maccie, then you
can't be all bad, there's a small ray of hope for you.

Now be very qwiet and leave me alone. I'm a
hunting for WinTrolls. Every now and then a newbie
comes fumbling in and doesn't know squat about
CSMA, and that's when I pounce.

Beats the hell outta me why WinTrolls stroll into
CSMA anyway. The only time I've ever visited a
Windows newsgroup is when I got a call center
in India speaking gibberish, so I head over to a Windows
newsgroup to get somebody who can at least type
in English to help me out with a weird problem.
And then I thank the poster for their help, make a snide
remark that Windows sucks, and leave. Ha!
