Looks like someone didn't pay their $1 extortion dues.

But, really, If you are a new usenetter and were about to post your version
of "where men are men", STOP!! I'm warning you! You'll get tons of hate mail
and shellscripts that when read, will erase all your files and blow up your
office!  Your name will appear all over net.flame whether you read it or not!
Your name will be on Alan Brady's shitlist!  Your wife and kids will be taken
hostage!  The stargate project will be aborted because of you!  People will
mutter your name in the same breath as the word "headhunter" or "facist" or
"Jane Fonda"!  You will find your car plastered with "I [screw] my [dog]"
bumper stickers!  People will wear T-shirts saying "My parents went to
[somewhere] to kill [your name] and all I got was this dumb T-shirt!"

Now, I certainly would not do any of these things, but someone else will.
Heed my warning lest evil befall ye.

Ahem.  The same goes for leper jokes, lightbulb jokes, and pretty soon 'do
it' and 'what do you call a man with no arms...' jokes.

I suppose you-all want the obligatory joke that comes with flames like these.
Well FORGET IT.  I just lost my sense of humor.
