Hey now, wait a minute. Nobody told me that this WASN'T a non-nutcase
mailing list. I don't join non-nutcase mailing lists. The internet,
much like television and horrific traffic accidents IS HERE FOR
ENTERTAINMENT. And there is nothing more entertaining than a bunch of
bits from a pack of mixed nuts. This is why I read alt.conspiracy, this
is why I am on the conspiracy nation mailing list and why I love to read
the anti-spamming news groups. To sum it up, its where the kooks are.

BTW, people flaming each other over technical distinctions in object
models is very kooky and good reading.

For people who want to know more about brain implants and orbital mind
control lasers I world recommend the Mind Control Forum at
http://www.mk.net/~mcf/

Okay, now I'm pissed. Why is it that I always show up after the party
is over. Just for once I would like the one responsible for driving the
discussion straight into the ground and ruining everything for
everybody. I am just going to have to work on my damn timing.
