Anyone who posts something completely unrelated to the ng simply to try
to attract attention to oneself is the one who needs to get a life.
What was your purpose is posting that drivel here? Can you give any
kind of rationale at all?

I keep telling you Edwin - it isn't going to work that way. Remember - the
government cut this deal. Just about the time the damned thing becomes
profitable and we could expect those bonus checks to start rolling in, we
have to give the damned thing back.
I want a return on my investment equal to what the CEO gets for stepping
down.

I was guessing you were an adolescent sneaking on mommy's computer, but
not you've confirmed it.
You will have to try a little harder than this though as it is very hard
to PO me. You haven't come close yet, but I'm sure your creative 10
year-old mind can come up with something.

I always wondered about that. Mustard seeds, mountains and all that. Sorta
makes it sound like little faith is a pretty good thing. Oh wait a second -
that would be usenet reasoning...

I dont quite agree with you there...www.netlingo.com defines OT as
"Off Topic An acronym or text message used in online chat, IM, e-mail,
blogs, or newsgroup postings." It says nothing about a topic that
started on topic and then drifted off.
The regulars of a newsgroup form a type of a bond. I have seen bunches
of OT topics from newsgroup regulars that are communicating with
their on-line friends of whatever newsgroup they frequent. I have
never seen an "OT" used for a post that started on topic and drifted
off.

You are then relatively new to usenet as many threads are marked OT by
someone as soon as they drift off-topic.
