hmmm. so i was in a thread dealing with a particular subject and posted a
reply to a previous post within the thread, dude. did you want to make a
dashing, stand-out point here.

actually, usenet is a venue and takes *no* action in attaching messages to
others...dude. perhaps you should have a look at the nntp protocol and learn
how it all works. either way, your bit ot an attempt at insults is lost in
translation since it went to intellect - the irony meter just went of the
scale as soon as you tried to talk about things you obviously have *no* idea
work.

as for my exact point, it's usenet. people do what they like. the internet
and all it's venues are supremely facist-free at this point. bitching about
how people behave on the internet is a moot point at best.

next time, try harder...dude.
