Time to change your diaper, Alex.  I know you enjoy the feeling, but the
smell is getting worse.

Wait a minute.  Which "obscene language" are you referring to?  The two
dashed words above, or the many obsceneties in the text included from your
original posting?

How so?  We got you to stop, which had had a *very* positive effect on the
net as a whole.

Right.  First you tell me I swear too much, then you accuse me of hypocrisy.
Can't you think of anything I'm guilty of that you aren't?  Or am I some
kind of saint?  (hint: no.)

Flaming is innapropriate in net.flame?  Try again.

>It's not slander if it's true.

I thought the punishments for slander used to be stiffer if it was true.

And what's this I hear about awards for the longest signoff?

"Let me tell you, Pete, the whole God damn world's comin apart at the seams,
you aware of that?  Begin's gone crazy and Sadat's still tryin to learn to
imitate his fart; piss-ant politicians out there shaking the ash can -- 'You
don't go long with me I'll blow up the world.'  Not that I care.  Be glad
it's not *me* up there.  I'd put my fingers in my ears and push the button
with my cock.  Actually, *don't* be glad it's not me.  I been thinking of
running for office, maybe.  State leglislature.  No crap!  Man needs to
broaden his avenues of income, get more screws on more people, these
troubled times.  All that filthy corruption, it makes me sick that I'm not
in on it.  But OK, OK, we're still down here in the pigshit dealing with the
piss quotient, right?  You there, Pete?"

	"I'm here."

"I was afraid you'd gone to sleep.  Listen, try to groan a little when I
talk to you, OK?  I keep getting the feeling there's nobody out there, I
mean nobody in the whole fucking city of Proviednce, whole universe even.
Isn't that weird?  Finney at his lawyerdesk oinkin away, putting his feet
up, puttin 'em down again, looking at the 'out' box, looking at the 'in'
box, sweating and scheming, squinting his little eyes, and nobody out
there -- I mean nobody, nowhere, *nothin*.  Little stirrings of dust."

	"Finney, you should see a psychiatrist."
