Oh come on people! That wasn't a flamewar!
Where's the degenerative name calling, the email inundations to the
instigators, the taking over of the newsgroups for posts that consist solely
of "did not" "did too" "did not" messages?
I'm frankly disgusted at your lack of venom. I *KNOW* some of you have it in
you. NOT ONE PERSON called someone else a "stupidhead" in their reply.
What's the matter with you people??? This should have gone on for weeks! Now
I see apologizing and calming replies, that's not how a flamewar works!
Sheesh.


Seriously though, I have to admit, this has been the most entertaining thing
on the newsgroup in a while. Not that I like flamewars, or even "spark"
wars, as this has turned out to be, but it's nice to see more life on the
old NG again.
Even though we don't always agree with each other, there's room for
everyone.
:::touchy feeley huggy::: lol, we're so sappy- but that's what makes us,
us- and makes Peek happy.
So now we have a new slogan- "AFW, the home of the shortest NG flamewar
ever"
hehehehehe

I've not started much in the way of flames so far this year.. Then

Love comes in spurts...

Jesus loves you, but not enough to swallow...

If you love someone, lick her 'til she screams.

If God is love, & Love is blind, is Ray Charles God?

The more you love, the more you can love! L. Long

Yes, and remember, you have to keep PK happy, because she knows where to
find pathogenic microbes. Bwa ha ha. :->

No one's called me Peek in a long time. ::silly grin:: I still think
Russell Crowe should be Wes, though. ;-P

Everyone, chat tomorrow!
