Perhaps you should change that simple mass of tangled nervematter
within your enormous skull for a brain Anthony. I'm sorry I mistook
you for someone with at least half a clue to begin with. FYI
O'clueless bumbler, I have tried a few different newsreaders and mail
readers - strangely without having to change my operating system! 

I think in future I will merely amuse myself by watching you blunder
around in your fog of ignorance instead of trying to help. In fact,
I will offer you one last piece of advice, you seeping puss-sack:
Emigrate to America and sign up with AOL. Even a mental dwarf such
as yourself may be able to operate at that level.

On the contrary, do you hail from a large family? If so I may indeed
take up a job in computer consultancy, since the business is obviously
there for the taking.

You sound like BBS material to me. Perhaps you'd better leave this
"cyberspace" <chuckle> technology to people armed with the
intelligence required to exploit it.

Just when did you crawl from the primordial sludge, brainwave boy? Do
you know how to use a search engine? Do you know how many *publicly
accessable* mail2news gateways there are? Do you ask your mother to
switch your 286 on for you? You are truly the most stupid individual
I have ever had the misfortune to encounter in a newsgroup Anthony,
and believe you should perhaps learn a little about a subject before
trashing people who try to help you out. And for some reason I get
the feeling your life is going to consist in the main of people
helping you along....

Goodbye twit,
