That is SO freakin' old. Got something fresher to report about?

DDW

 

No I am not kidding, right?

There is no need to go off the deep-end about it.

 

I don't care how old it is, because someone not aware of the solution
and there are a lot out there will unknowingly click away.

This is old too, but does that mean that it's not a valid point and
something someone shouldn be aware of?

I didn't "go off the deep-end" about it. I simply was pointing out that this
is a very old hoax and you should take the time to research things before
you clog up the Intertubes with quotes from Chicken Little.

You have certainly made an impression on me, not a good one.

 

This, coming from YOU??? The same person who wrote this in the Linux
group (one word bleeped to get past the MS filters):

 

You are the only threat here.

 

Who cares about what you think.

 

Boring.

I am sick and tired of your holier then thou attitude on these Newsgroups.
You need to be brought down to MY level in these Newsgroups.

And I will use Chicken Little, Mad Dog, Lone Ranger, whatever I like.
You can not stop me.

 

Mr. Arnold

Malke did not go off the deep end . She pointed out quite correctly that this is a scam/hoax and posted links that you can see. Instead of giving a arrogant answer you should have instead taken the time and read those links.

The newsgroups are full of this link that you posted because unknowingly like you and others jumped and forwarded this scam\hoax.

That would certainly be a monumental task, considering how low your
low-life level is - so far, anyway. I'm sure it will go lower.

 

I didn't like the person's tone. Therefore, she'll get no respect from
me, and I don't want to hear from her again about anything.

I can't make it any clearer than that.

You stupid *clown* you can't bring down anyone in any NG(s). What do you
think this is the presidential debates you *clown*?

It's you that seeks acceptance, because you have no life. It's you who
need friends out here on Usenet, because you have no life. It's you who
needs the approval from others, because you have no life. And it is you
who must <stalk> and chase because you have no life.

As long as I am helping and seeking out the poster who needs help and
can provide the help, which seems to be something that you cannot do as
I have seen you in action, is all that counts.

All *clowns* like you have your little personal agenda.

Your agenda doesn't me *jack* to me, and you keep right at it.

The bottom line here is that you have no life. The bottom line is you
can't stop me from helping people.

The bottom line is that you really don't know jack about computer systems.

Did I hurt your feeling or something?

Your nose is wide open it seems. I don't see you helping anyone. All I
see you doing is <stalking> and seeking argument, and I'll repeat it to
you, because you have no life, and you're out here just a little too
much on Usenet to be sane.

You remind me of the nut-job Bart in an AV NG that did the same thing
when I opened his nose several years ago.

The young lad chased me all over the place. I don't know what happened
to the young lad. He just disappeared and was never seen again. You're
not that young.

 

Several months too late..... That's an old, recurring one.

They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary
safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. ~Benjamin Franklin

Many people would rather die than think; in fact, most do. ~Bertrand Russell

The philosopher has never killed any priests, whereas the priest has
killed a great many philosophers.
~ Denis Diderot

 

Unlike Bart, I'm not going away. I may be old - wish me Happy
Birthday: I turn 65 Friday! - but I've still got good strong legs and
more will power than you'd like me to have.

 

As you can see, I have an impersonator. It's not the first time or the
last time it will ever happen. It's kind of old hat and is something
that is to be expected on Usenet.

But am I going to go off the deep-end like Montgomery and start
stalking? No, I don't think so. ;-)
