In the interest of furthering the effective use of USENET,  I 
hereby submit the following template for submissions to 
net.flame.  If everyone will agree to use this common form to compose 
their letters, the intelligent communication of ideas and opinions 
should be no worse off than it has been so far.

Who knows?  It might even be better.

Use of this template is quite simple.  Just erase 
the words which don't apply and submit the letter in the usual 
way.

     Dear (sir, cretin, Laura);

     Your recent submission concerning (smoking, tailgating, 
something I can't remember) has convinced me that you are (a commie,
insane, full of (sh*t,*hit,s*it,shi*)).  As to your 
intimation that Ray Jender and Tim Howard Macaroni are having a
homosexual affair at an abortion clinic, I can only say (I thought
of it first, it's really Bilbo and Frodo, this was all discussed two months
ago in net.obscure).  Once again you have managed to disagree with me.
Don't you realize yet that I am smarter than you and right about everything?
How do you expect anyone to take you seriously with your (missspelling, 
grammer bad, runonsentences)?

     You've really got a lot of nerve, that's all I have to say.  Your 
maunderings are taking up valuable space which could be used for 
more important matters.  My fifty-five letters 
on this subject are quite sufficient, thank you.   Your response does 
nothing but confuse the issue.  Why don't you just (die, grow up, 
send me money)?

(fill in the name of a fictional character here) 
who stays up all night writing these silly letters
