Groan. Why, oh why do people feel they have to post personal, asinine, petty,
dogmatic, silly and completely uninteresting flames at each other in the
public eye of net.flame? Now I can understand the need for a completely
undiciplined newsgroup such as net.flame for the purpose of airing some
general gripe about something, but I can't see why person-to-person
arguments (like Jeff Sargentgate) need to be shared with everyone else..
What's wrong with mail if you want to personally flame someone? (unless, of
course, what you're actually trying to do is impress everyone else with
your ability to flame in the most intelligent manner).. I don't think
I'm the only one to interject with an "Ok, Ok! Enough already!".

When my neighbors argue, I don't put a glass to the wall.
When I do, I speak very little and reach for my gun..

Thank god for my 'n' key..

Nuff' flamed. Feel free to flame back, I'll ignore you.
