- Christ on a crutch! Look at that. Is that *13* cross-posts?
- You left out alt.matters.of.great.importance.to.all.earth.people.

- All I have to say about this is: This is why I have a gun.
-
- (So I'm wondering: So why doesn't he use the gun? On himself..)
-
- Peeve: I'm already mad at the guy and I don't even know what he is saying
- or responding to.
-
- .. Just because he responds to a cross-post of 13 newsgroups. (To be fair,
- maybe he just forgot to edit the newgroup line in his response.)

- If so E-mail me.

- Then again..
-
- Peeve: People who smatter their electronic philosophical flatulances from
- hell to breakfast on the net, apparently in the blind assumption that
- their subject is so universally relevant.
-
- (I better be careful here, with my own electronic philosophical
- flatulances, eh?)
-
- Peeve: That the network accepts cross-posts to more than three or four
- newsgroups at a time in the first place. It's too much power to
- make available to someone whose testes haven't completely descended
- yet.
-
- I blame a programmer. A C programmer, probably a unix guru somewhere. He
- was probably distracted, figuring out how to add a sixth layer of keyboard
- remapping to "fix" someone's [like mine] net access software..
-
- Nested Peeve: programming ain't a fit occupation for a human being
- anyway.
-
- Peeve: That the newsreaders faithfully pick up 13 cross-posts for
- someone's reply. It propagates the problem.
-
- Now where's that net.terrorist when you need him?
