Okay, I can honestly say I busted out laughing near the end of your post
(thankfully I managed to put down my cheap totino's party pizza so as not to
spill second-rate tomato sauce on myself).

You dredged up some response about a desk.  I think I know the one you're
talking about, where I said it might be from a chinese person.  You failed
to note that it was in response to a question, while asked of the newsgroup
in general, that nobody but the seller would have likely known.  Ask a dumb
question, get a dumb answer and all, I was merely furnishing the dumb and
answer parts.  Any way, at the time (as I am now), I am sitting at a desk
given to me by a chinese person, semi-coworker and good friend.  The legs
are on wood blocks, to raise it a good four inches.  They're the same blocks
the chinese man used, since we're about the same height, six feet three
inches or so.  Anything but small.  This is an example of a humorous reply.

I became a little more serious about the theft responses, because you are
stealing from the readers of this newsgroup for your own profit.  I won't
repost the links and explanations given by the several knowledgable and
helpful people who put them up originally (okay, I'll post one of my own;
look at http://www.mail-abuse.org/ for more info).

Now it seems you're attacking my character, labelling me an "ATTENTION
WHORE" (caps yours) and saying I come across as a pitful, little person.  I
would like to think I'm a little more.  Perhaps giving a little background
will help your understanding.  You see, I run my own business.  I do wide
area network design, and other related things (and you will never see me
advertise my business on this newsgroup.  spam can be determined by a fine
line, and I like to stay away from it, if even just as a simple show of
respect to the people who read the groups).  If you've never done wide area
network design, you wouldn't know how mindbogglingly frustrating certain
aspects of it can be.  You should know, though, that as I run my own
business, I have to deal with some pretty annoying people.  I deal with this
for about ten hours a day, six days a week (yeah, I worked last saturday,
along with most others).  That's a lot of annoyance.  I don't see myself as
special.  I'm sure a lot of people go through the same crap in life.  Many
probably put up with more.  We need an outlet some times.  One of mine is
making funny posts to newsgroups.  I really don't care what YOU think of
them.  They're for MY benefit.  I laugh at them.  Sometimes other people may
think they're funny too.  Great, since I laugh at others posts.  Share the
humor.  If you don't think I'm funny, use your killfile (in outlook express,
hilight a message from me, click on "message", then "block sender . . ." and
follow the prompts).

I've probably been using internet newsgroups since before you knew what the
internet was, and I can assure you that humor and irony from frustrated
sysadmins is not a new thing.  This is how it has always been.  If you don't
like it, you're welcome to start your own news network.
