What the hell is it with people who decide to *repeatedly* post the same
fucking complain over and over again?

First we had those post-happy fuckwits whining about their pool, and now
we've got this dildo griping about his ISP.

Hey, Kelly, let me clue you in on something you seem to be missing:  We
*don't care*.  You're *annoying*.  In attempting to warn people about a
company you have a problem with, you're instead *pissing them off*.

Is that simple enough for you, or should I reduce the total number of
syllables?

#Charlie, he is right in saying you should know how to determine what 
#article was responded to.  But, as Slim shows, not all articles 
#propogate, and he may not be responding to the person who made the 
#posting he saw.  Just someone elses comment in that post.  
# 
#You are right on the netiquette point, which Ehud should know.  Its in 
#the newbie FAQ's.  Its in emilypostnews.  If responding to someone's 
#else's comments, you should quote them so anyone who didn't see what you 
#saw will have an idea of what is being discussed/ridiculed/flamed/etc.
