     Consult your ISP for the deleting newsgroup messages information, god
knows what the hell you are using to send that nonsense. Personally, I hate
talking frogs, especially Freddie the Frog from New Zoo Review. That whole damn
show reminds me of a old friend's father who thought he could play the guitar .
. . for hours and hours and hours . . .

 Well, not only god knows. If you take a look at the headers there is
one quite interesting:
 X-Newsreader: Microsoft Outlook Express 4.72.3110.1

 One, that your Newsreader is missing! Oh, and if you like to comment
about this and mine, take a close look and you might find a
"User-Agent:" line in my header ;)

 Nice pic that is :)

 And about talking of UserAgents - your doesn't seperate signature
correctly. Correct sig-dashes should be dash-dash-space, just like mine
;-)

 Have fun!

ObASCII = obligatory ASCII pic for the sake of putting a ASCII pic in a non
ASCII picture post.

I thought as much. From `froup', sounds like you want rec.humor.oracle.d.

That's what your cancel function is for. And if you don't know how to
cancel a message, then you shouldn't go into r.h.o.d anyway, 'cause
they'll make fun of you. (Won't you, rhodites? (Yes, you will. And
that's an order.))

*ob-* (usually capitalized) adj. /Usenet and mailing lists./ obligatory.
  Prefixed to a noun, indicating that the following text is a token
  contribution to the nominal topic of the group or list. Employed by
  some groups and lists as a way of encouraging the group or list to
  stay on-topic. Examples: ObQuote [alt.quotations]; ObASCII
  [alt.ascii-art]; obasr [alt.sysadmin.recovery].

I'm thinking of submitting it for the third edition of the Oxford
English Dictionary. But first I have to go and find the second edition
and make sure it's not there, and then I think I have to find a printed
citation somewhere.
