If you don't like my whining Llizard you, and indeed anyone, can always
ignore my posts, killfile me, or unsubscribe. No one is compelled to
read anything I post here, or anywhere else on the Net.

Be positive. Remove the cause of my whines...make me happy...post some
funny pictures that will make me ROTFL...stop doing all the things that
annoy me...see it My Way!


Seriously Llizard...if you continually criticise people and also tell
them what to do and what not to do, but in the very same post claim that
you are merely offering helpful advice then you must expect plenty of flak
from me.

Similarly, if you continue to encourage unsupervised children to post
incessantly and inappropriately to this newsgroup instead of using
alt.test and also asking their parents or guardians to show them how
to properly use the machines ( with Windoze 98 etc on them (that they
presumably permit them to use)...then again expect plenty of flak
from me, with or without emoticons ( smiley or non-smiley little faces ).

Me? I will do my best to _discourage_ them whether you like it or not.
I decide what I do, not you, and it is, in turn, your privilege
to criticise my actions and viewpoints if you so wish.

The Net is all about people and their opinions and, in unmoderated
newsgroups, people will inevitably disagree and engage in flamewars.

Actually, I sometimes suspect, for a number of reasons, that you
are a child yourself too Llizard?  Am I correct?

Ever considered all those silly HA HA HAs at the end of most of your
own posts?  They don't help me much, or excuse the critical content of
your own postings...but I just ignore the HA HA HAs and think..."Oh well
that's just Llizard, she can't help it and thinks it's funny! "


>Please refrain now. (I'd e-mail this but, well... never mind;
>that's another boring story.)

I am indeed most thankful that you cannot email me Llizard.

As for refraining, I think you might like to go seriously study your
ownself in a mirror after removing your lizard costume.

Now if you really want a public flamewar Llizard then I am quite happy
to oblige you but I'm certain other regular readers here will not
welcome or enjoy it no matter whose views they might support in
a flamefest.

And I sure as hell would not want an email flamewar...I get charged for
all my email both incoming and outgoing!
