OKAY MR. POTTY MOUTH, SMART GUY, BANDWIDTH POLICEMAN, ROCKET SCIENTIST - by replying to 
this you are cross-posting your opinions and your foul language to all of those thirty 
or so newsgroups. From now on if you are going to complain about cross-posting, don't 
cross-post yourself. Now shut the fuck up. The only reason you are annoyed is that this 
thread is getting big and taking up precious bandwidth. Stop making matters worse. P.S. 
your spelling needs a little work.

By the way, who DOES care about illegal boxes. If you want one - buy one, if not shut 
up. Enough said. Kill this thread.
