Yeah...what she said.  This isn't net.flame, you know.  Noone has ever been
flamed outside of net.flame.  Noone on this network has *ever* been attacked
personally outside of net.flame.  Noone has EVER been ridiculed or made fun
of outside of net.flame.  Isn't it wonderful to be able to post anything you
want, secure in the knowledge that you won't be flamed because this isn't 
net.flame?  Oooo!  I just get all goose-pimply when I think about it!
