Fomenter,

I really wish you had resisted this time. :-(

If you have any serious questions about the Usenet or the Internet, fire
away; that's what this newsgroup is here for.


If you're just trying to "stir things up", you might try another newsgroup.
If you're already bored with <news:alt.games.daggerfall>, might I suggest a
visit to <news:alt.flame>?

You should have great fun there; but make sure you read the alt.flame FAQ
before posting! :-)

a newsgroup that is specifically for your ISP, or check the ISP's
web site for information.
