Excuse me, Mr. @#$%^&*, but who the @#$%^&* are you?! and what have you
contributed to FAQs except call the authors losers for objecting to
people who take advantage of their own hard work for personal profit?

you glorify the sleazy, sharklike, parasitic practice of stealing other
people's work and repackaging it for profit? and call us `whiners' when
we complain? you call the parasites good samaritans? The only other
person I have ever heard that shared your filthy sentiment was Jef
Poskanzer, who is of course the most uplifting and magnificent example
of altruistic FAQ authorship and responsible net.citizenship. Since
your sentiments are so obnoxiously noxious, and I have never heard of
you, and you have succeeded so spectacularly in insulting the hard work
of others and portrayed the authors as petty bickering children and not
the net.heroes they are, I think I will smear you further by
insinuating that you are actually a Poskanzer tentacle. <g>

FAQ maintainers are not only the `winning team', we are a new
cyberspatial world power. And we shall continue our conquests until the
entire world has been crushed beneath our supremacy, and all the
sleazy, disreputable, outrageous publishing companies that continue to
rape their clients (both readers and writers), and their sniveling
promoters and apologists, have been driven from the face of the earth
into Hell by slow crushing death in our vice of domination. We have
seen the future, and it is US. BWAHHAHA!!
