Don't you know that you shouldn't talk to these people? Just avert your
eyes, select the next article, and maybe -- just maybe -- they won't come

In that case, a LART is too much trouble for the luser. You just look them
clearly and calmly in the eye and say, "No."

Why flame a luser when you can ignore one instead.
Ignoring lusers encourages a process of natural selection whereby they
either figure out what they are doing wrong [1] and stop it thereby
evolving from the primal ooze that is the luser pool, or they give up and
go away. Either way, it's one less luser to worry about. [2]

[1] Anyone who can't figure this out without being told is obviouly a

Only the clued recognize when they're being ignored. A true luser will
continue to yip and prance about like a toy poodle on crystal meth,
until the large attack housecat of the BOFH reduces it to so much damp
fluff.
Or, to steal one of the greatest phrases I've ever heard on this group,
"you need to hit them with the Clue by four"[1]
If lusers could be persuaded by subtle guestures, or read minds, many of
mine would have exploded in to flames long ago.

Nicely recursive though. Reminds me of the old axum concerning
recursion, which goes, "In order to understand recursion,
one must first understand recursion". Or something like that.

Dejanews doesn't give out information from a.s.r if it would be useful.

erm.. don't you mean root is the evil of all money ? (or something

I'm sorry. Just trying to spare the guy the agony and hopelessness of an
admin life. I'll go do a few rmlusers to make up for it.

Why ignore them when you can email core dumps?

This is starting to remind me of the way the alestands at Faire advertise
their wares[1]: "Why walk when you can stagger? Why stagger when you
can crawl? Why crawl when you can lie on your belly in the dust?"
