No, its the intellectual pursuants who are sighing and trying to do something

The net is overused, overpublisized and already taxed to the hilt. If you
want to flood it, cough up some tax money to the gov't and get them to build a
new one for you Chuckleheads wasting bandwidth.

Polemics, MY are we feeling literate tonight!? Chauvanists my ass, there just
seems to be an open policy for bullshit now.

Having finally gotten through a long, long list of articles by Net
chauvinists decrying the arrival of AOLers, and having suffered at
reading far too many articles by net dwellers who seem to have a
vocabulary limited to "fuck, shit, asshole, etc., I believe I have
finally figured out what is happening. All you net dwellers have
realized that you time is limited.
You had this world to yourselves for a long time. And like the deal
making politicians who decided elections and candidate selection in smoky
back rooms, you enjoyed the feeling of power, of having a club of your
own. Now, witht he publicizing of the net, and the advance of common
folk into your world, you realized the gig is up. The public has decided
to take advantage of a public service: the net. It is no longer your
club, and you net chauvinists are in the denial stage, which is often
accompanied by the whining stage.
It will take a while, but eventually all you people who choose to flame
the AOLers due to their poor use of the english language, their
inappropriate posts, and all the other rediculous justifications will
find your world invaded by those to whom the net should really belong:
common folk.
You AOLers amuse me. I must say, I did get a chuckle or two out of
reading all your posts. But generally, they reminded me of the polemics
of a small group of people being overcome by circumstances and who are
unable to adapt and fear to even try. The death of the net chauvinists
is near.
Cheers...

Please. Do you see that in my messages? No? I didn't think
so.

I think I'm going to kill you (kill as in kill things he writes-
don't hurt me netcopper!).

The net doesn't belong to anyone. And if it did guess who it
would belong to? The people that created it.
: You AOLers amuse me. I must say, I did get a chuckle or two out of

Prepare for the journey into my kill file.
