Newton's Lost Law of Usenet Posting: "For every moronic posting/reply on the Usenet, there will be a minimum of one posting/reply trying to point out the extent of the previous poster's idiocy. This phenomenon will repeat itself until the moron(s) get(s) bored, or until the ones replying, realize the futility of their efforts. There are no exceptions to this rule."
