I ask this... if your so damned fucking hard up and know nothing about
computers, how come you have your own internet account, can post to a few
hundred newsgroups, much less every year?

I remember seeing this EXACT SAME message here in a.a-a when I frequented
this group in fall '97.

If your so damned hard up, how can you afford to pay for a P.O. Box? Those
things cost more than the $20 it takes to get a food basket (up here in
Canada, anyway).

If you were hard up, you'd give people your home address - someone in your
area might even come by and offer you more than a friggin buck. Hell, they
might drop off canned food, or nice clothes that they or their kids don't
need anymore. Or they could just as easily mail the same stuff - something
that a PO box won't take..doc wrote:
