Oh damn! Here we go again having to explain my jokes/messages/
Shafts of Wit etc. <sigh>

I'm not getting at you, or your posting, but at the people for
whom it regrettably has to be written...those  who do not get a few
clues before they start posting their "priceless gems" to newsgroups
and repeatedly stuff things up with malposted garbage et al. Bleah!

What I tried to convey was that if the people reading your excellent
advice are seeing all the things you suggest they might be seeing then
those people should go away and get themselves a new and better
newsreader and/or web-browser and trouble us no more until they find one
and test it out in the newsgroup "alt.test".

Alternatively, if they choose not to do that, then they should
"Go fry their heads!"  Hah! Harumph!
