Well said, George. I've been wondering about that too in this terrible
thread. Either anthonyberet and his sidekick Enren5k, or whatever he's
called, are both insane, or they're deliberately trying to mislead us all
with false information for nefarious purposes. This sort of thing should be
banned. In fact, I've decided to report them both to the Usenet authorities
for breach of Etiquette Protocol #14c, which, if a conviction is won against
them, could put them both where they belong for 30 years each . . . . yes,
IN THE PRISON! Are you with me on this, George?

I know, George. Ridiculous, isn't it? Who do they think we are, trying to
make us believe that stuff? It just won't wash.

I can't comment on the Canadian thing, George, but it's true about the
English. They eat all sorts of weird shite like that. They invariably end
the meal with a spot of Morris dancing, too. They're mad, they are.

True, George - but there most definitely *is* if it's done the other way
round. I once got 72 hours community service and a �250 fine for hitting
someone I shouldn't have on the head with a keyboard.

Are you sure, George? I can't say I know too much about the legal processes
of our former colonies, but I'm sure there ARE such things as Federal laws.
Are you an Anarchist?

Yes, George! Let's see them them provide the applicable statute! I bet you a
zillion dollars they can't!!!!
