I'm getting blankety-blank tired of reading all these signatures that
are longer than the articles being posted!  You know the ones I mean:
those with the silly poems spread out over half a dozen lines; others
with doodles and graphics, and those that have every conceivable
pathto in them, on a separate line!

While I'm at it, I hate all articles over 35 lines!  Writing a long
article indicates [generally speaking] that some thought has gone into
it, and that means it might make sense.  I prefer the short, irrational
postings that make no sense and are easy to flame at!  [ This one's a
good example]

I also hate seeing in a response to an article the entire original
article [goddammit Gordon, paraphrase!].

Ahhhh... the Metamucil seems to have worked.
