Why was this crossposted to both nyc.general and chi.general from
an anonymous server?  The rant is not only clearly unoriginal, but
also dated -- why reference AOL instead of WebTV as a model of
cluelessness?  The Clinton reference is also less than up to the
minute.  I didn't say he/she was a good troll.  It was a pretty lousy
attempt and I don't think a lazy, anonymous jerk should be treated
with any degree of seriousness.
