Well, I agree, I don't *think* he really intended to flame entire news
groups, I think he was really trying to be cute and funny and informative,
the only problem is, I've seen it appear in several news groups, and I
haven't noticed anyone smiling about it.

If he is going to inflict this on everyone, I think he needs to go back
and re-title his headings.  The postings are universally insulting, and
appropriate to alt.flame, but not to a good technical group like this
and others I've seen  his postings in (note it is appropriate for alt.flame
only because that is the flavor in that group).

I recognise he was joking.  I just think it was stupid.

This is my opinion, and does not necessarilly reflect the opinion of
my employers ;^).
