- Note very carefully the originating site. Yes, boys and girls, Scott
- posted this from a PCBored BBS. The average person who calls a
- PCBored BBS doesn't believe that any computer system exists other than
- the IBM PC and compatibles.

- Once again, note that this originated from a PCBored BBS. This
- explains the reference to "Conferences" in the original article, not
- to mention the fact that the cross-posting list was contained in the
- body of the article rather than the header. Actually, I'm surprised
- to see absolutely no trace of Shitty Little Mail Reader at all in the
- original article, especially considering where it came from.
-
- I'm also surprised I didn't see some newsfroup like net.bbs in the
- list as well.
