- What do you hope to accomplish, running around alt.peeves yelling "Give
- me puberty or give me death?" Posting here isn't gonna put hair on
- your nut sack.
-
- You aren't outrageous, interesting, or different. You haven't offered
- a new perspective, although I think that's what you've been trying to
- do. Your best effort to date was reposting something you may have
- written that's been circulating the net for ages. In the best case,
- this means you're demonstrating you're a sooty and smudgy skeleton
- of what you were in your heyday. In the worst case, you're a
- plagarist.
-
- It's truly pitiful. Unlike a some around here, the gods didn't endow
- you with a cosmic "Kick me" sign when you were created. You earned it
- all by yourself.

- Your battery is dead. I couldn't have come up with a more suitable
- analogy, myself.
