Re: [OT Flame] Quotes, Sigs, Ccs... (was: SEMI-TRANSPARENT GRAPHICS)

Hi,

What's this (see below)?
Who is flaming whom?
Why is this list no longer censored?
BTW luser should be looser or loser and shouldn't pompous be pompeous?
Stop <censoring> up this list that I've read with pleasure up till now and
how dare you complain about all the mails you get. Who's subscribing to all
those lists anyway?

Bye
