The best you can do is a fucking SYSTEM V termcap,
that nobody even _uses_ (seeing as there is a perfectly
usable and well-maintained terminfo database)!

You are incredible (pinhead).

I don't know what you are talking about, Mark.  Your confession of

I don't think that this scans the way you intended it, Mark.  Are you
saying that I use 'tricks' against prejudiced people and then it is
OK for me to use 'tricks'?  Or are you saying that I am prejudiced?
If the latter, I do confess that I dislike Your Minions a great deal.
Your inane and stupid efforts to flame only confirms that prejudice.

As for net.idiot, I expect that I have lost.  I believe that another
T?d has many more than a paltry 97 votes.  However, perhaps I can get
the alt.flame.idiot award as a compensation(?)  Ready to vote again?

Lucky for you that there is no literacy test....

Sure you to Twad. You know alllll about the tricks prejudiced people
use. You must as you've accused just about everyone here of using them
at least once it seems. But, I guess it's OK for you to use them, huh?
That must be one of the benefits of being the Net.Idiot.

Terminfo?  This sounds like it came from a System V system.  AT&T's lawyers
can be AWFULLY anal-retentive about releasing their trade-secret information.
Expect a call...

(of course, if their lawyers ever have null strings explained to them,
/bin/true is going to cause us all a lot of grief...)

Well, you take a wild flying guess. I found all those little
side-remarks you made about "liberals" quite interesting. That little
"P" joke displayed an interesting grasp of how to sling religious
slurs and get away with it. For someone who comes on as
high-and-mighty about fairness and openmindedness as regards
race/religion/etc. you come closer to crossing the line than just
about anyone else in alt.flame.

>If the latter, I do confess that I dislike Your Minions a great deal.

Minions. You're so fucking stupid. First everyone is "coming to the
aid of Trish", now I have all these "minions". Why don't you review
your behaviour in alt.flame. The first words out of your festering gob
to anyone new is almost always against them - and is also generally
insulting. You create your own enemies and then concoct these
"alliances" to rationalize that fact to yourself.

>Your inane and stupid efforts to flame only confirms that prejudice.

No, I suspect your prejudices go much further than that. You'll never
be mature enough to accept them though; prefering to hide them behind
a veil of paranoia. You're one sick (and stupid) puppy.

>As for net.idiot, I expect that I have lost. I believe that another
>T?d has many more than a paltry 97 votes.  However, perhaps I can get

No. You're a shoe-in winner. In fact, now _you_ have minions. No,
they're not supporting you verbally. But they are copying your stupid,
mindless, gut-wrenchingly inept style.

>Lucky for you that there is no literacy test....

Lucky for you TEK doesn't have one. Take a hint, snapperhead, having a
big fancy volcabulary is not the same thing as being able to write
well. Having endured your mindless crap here for these many months, I
can see why your fellow TEKites might take offense at your rantings.
Any company as fucked in the head to keep you around has to have some
big-time problems somewhere. You must be great fun in a staff meeting,
making everyone explain things 10 times to you.

>Tad
>t...@pulsar.telcom.tek.com

You are so far beyond being able to understand anything anyone here
says that this is just converging on uselessness. The really sad part
is that you really believe that you're winning. You are a shocking
waste of natural resources - kindly re-integrate yourself into the
food-chain. Just go die in your sleep you mindless flatulent troll.
