And fuck you. too, BBS denizen! The vast majority of Hermit's
contributions here have historically been cut'n'paste bullus shittus
combined with snide comments; ifnya need any reminder, check both
the list archives and 'Best of Virus' and commence a comparative
analysis. When I adopted his tactics as the only available way to
counter his list flooding, I am condemned, but not him, who has done so
since list time immemorial. Go ahead and filter me, fuckwad! I care
not, since your obviously precast opinion is of no consequence
whatsoever to me. It'll be YOU who are missing out, not me.
