- I think titus has learned his lesson. I feel sorry for him.. after all..
- after that message he must have received:
-
- 1. at least 100 people saying "do I know you..??"
-
- 2. at least 100 stupid moronic vanity ego extenders (bots) messaging
- (or noticing if their owners have an idea of the protocol) him
- something like "-WeenieSrv- y() d00d, EyE d0|\|t UndErStAnD,
- `could you please wish ... happy birthday..', tRy Th1zz etc..."
-
- 3. At least 20 operators saying "You know you are a very bad boy
- for doing that"
-
- And then finally after sitting thru 20 minutes of flood to find that
- someone had /kill'ed him for it :) As for the personal swipe on the guy whose
- birthday is was, I bet you say "humbug" to christmas :P
