An opinion is true in the eyes of the person who thinks it.  And I do
think you are an IDIOT by your actions both during online, interactive
sessions, and now also on UseNet.

: : And on top of all of this, I am root on the Winternet systems, not

For two days while I got his machine installed, configured and online.

: : : 3. No teasing newbies. Violators will be warned, then kicked, then

: They never teased me at first on #Jeopardy.

But you were teased later then?  Hmm??

: : Tell me this, what is an authorized bot?  Again, tyranny at its worst.

: An authorized bot is one with an e-mail address that equals

Tyranny by another name is still tyranny.

: : Ever heard of UseNet Etiquette?  Shave down that signature to 4 lines or
: : less.

: Why? I can convey more info in that space.

Etiquette, somewhat unwritten rules to save space and lower bandwidth.
You have enough whitespace in your signature to shave off at least 2 lines.

: : Founding member of Minnesota Coalition for Internet Accessibility

: Uh huh, and what is this Coalition? Probably StarNet, Inc. and
: WinterNet, trying to make fast bucks.

Again, you have no clue who I am or what I represent.

I am trying to get people online, and I want to work with other providers
to do just that.  Its not a club, but an organization to help educate
users about the Internet and its uses in normal life.

Ya IDIOT, learn topics before you slam, it is one of the reasons I call
you and IDIOT.

Now, lets rewrite your signature and see how it looks.

Wow, 4 lines, conveys the same information, who would have thought?

In fact, I bet your email address will work if set to rbraun@itc.virginia.edu
or maybe even rbraun@virginia.edu.

Save the earth, usr your bytes in moderation, recycle bytes when you are
