And what date would that be? And what is the FAQ addressed in this
trash?

So you quoted The Coward Hicks? Why would you do that? We outed
this despicable piece of shit and we proved that he lives with his
mother. And not in his mother's basement, because trailer homes
don't have basements. Nope. The Coward Hicks sleeps upstairs. In
the one bed, in the one bedroom, if you catch our drift...

What The Coward Hicks is implying with this silliness is that he is
not a member of the "public at large" and that he is a member of the
slackware "inner circle." This is something that The Coward, and a
few other imbeciles, like Faux_Pseudo, feel amounts to exalted
status. Imagine that, talking to an honest to god unix programmer.
It almost wants you to learn C, unless, of course you already
learned C, over twenty years ago, like most of the serious
contributors to this ng.

The Coward Hicks has been driven away from this newsgroup. He was
exposed attempting a slackware "coup" while Mr. Volkerding was
seriously ill, a year or two ago. The Coward Hicks was the subject
of universial ridicule, and he stands before us all now, almost as
despised as the Dead Indian.

Butterino, does your stupidity know no limits? Of course it does
not; not for nothing are you the Great Wall of China of stupidity.

Regardless of Mr. Hicks's idiosyncratic shortcomings, your drivel
above is the most despicable, miserable, disingenuous ad hominem attack I
have seen in a long time. Par for the course for you though.

Yes, but you clipped away the important point, didn't you? Why
would that be?

Wow! You should have been here when Al Canton was trying to "save the
newsgroup". You missed some doozies! ;-)

To paraphrase Einstein:

Only two things are infinite: the universe, and rm's stupidity;
and I'm not sure about the former.

It's yourself, you smell. Now go back to sleep, Old Man, while we
have a little chat with the people who woke you.

And you don't, to escape other people's killfiles?

You being cordial is like passing an entrance exam to hell.
