This is a TEXTBOOK case of FLAMEBAIT. There are many things one can do
with this. The first, is of course, ignore it. A good choice. why? well....
You see, people who post stuff like this get joy out of causing flame wars,
that is, wars where everyone and their mother gets involved saying stuff like
"Phish doesn't suck!" The trouble is, it often happens in public, and that's
when digest readers (who can't *have* killfiles) get *really* annoyed.....far
tooo much of their digest gets used on flame. Furthermore, it's real real real
improbable that someone like this actually *reads* this newsgroup, so nothing
you say is gonna reach him , so what's the point in posting it at all? Other
options: flame him privately. This is OK, but it's really a waste of your
time....besides, flamebait is often due to someone walking away from a terminal
while still logged in, and having someone clever come and post a message like
this one. so, the person whose account it is gets a mailbox full of flame and
doesn't know why. This person, however, was *very* clever and used a false
site. I haven't bothered to try and trace it, but if this kinda shit REALLY
bothers you (don't let it. trust me.) go find a computer guru and get him/her
to trace the origin of the message. Whatever else you do, let's let this
thread die here, huh? Thanks.

I am coming to you today from the Coalation Against Phish in America to tell you that you are wasting your precious little lives away following these weed growingaimless jammers around the country. Your little buddy Trey is a crack head who iblowing his
paycheck every month on smack on the streets of New York. I have seen him. He is a bum. He prostituted himself to me for $50 in crack, too.
Hey- What's up with that music? It sucks. That's what's up.
Phish, Dave Matthews, The Spin Doctors, Rusted Root and all of those bands who wish they were the Dead just suck. They jam aimlessly for hours and you fools love it. You know why? Cause you are too stoned off your ass to realize it sucks.
* A little joke:
What did the Phish fan say when pot and acid wore off?
answer: This music sucks!
You are nothing but lamer daddie's boys and girls who needed something to be, now that Bon Jovi is not 'in.' Hmm.. what do you do? Be like everyone else, get some tie dye, rip up your jeans, get some Birkensucks, buy a piece of shit VW off your crazy
uncle, put a Ben and Jerrys bumper sticker on it and hey man, we're back in the
60s. Well wake up morons. It's not the 60's anymore, and you people are disillusioned tools.
C'mon kiddies! Get a life! and stop being such damn granola kids.
PHISH SUCKS!

Thanks for being so concerned, but why do you care?
Hmm...a bit on the free-form side, and it doesn't rhyme. I give
it a 3 out of 10, but there's a glimmer of hope--keep working at it!
Perhaps you should try haiku....
