Everyone else already left the planet?

What has any of this got to do with IF? Looks like a cross-post.

You say that like it's a dirty word....try reading the stories, goon.
If you don't understand the relevance after, then shoot yourself.

Cross-posting is not a dirty word, it's merely a bad idea. It's been
at least five years since it provided any benefit to Usenet; these
days it actively hurts newsgroups. The above-quoted exchange is a
better argument for that fact than anything I could say.

Followups, therefore, reduced.

I might have, until a retard told me I had to. Now, I won't, because you're
a retard.
