****!!!
I just googled Rex Ballard in groups and on the net and he makes Roy
Schestowitz and Mark Kent look normal!!
What a friggen usenet kook if ever there was one.
Between crossdressing for Linux and having ones testicles removed for
Linux I don't know which one is worse.
I don't see much advocacy in comp.os.linux.advocacy, but it is one
hell of a funny froup to read.
Hysterical in fact.
