heheheh look who's talking

You know, I periodically peruse this newsgroup, and occasionally ask a
question when I'm really stumped. Inevitably some helpful person who has
nothing to gain helps me with my problem. There are so many community
oriented people here that I find it very inspiring.

Then, of course, there is the other sort ...

Cut the bloke a break. He was right, and the way he wrote his post, top
posting was justified IMHO. Feel free to flame me for this, I'm a big boy

He wasn't right, and top-posting is never right, dimwit.

Ahhh. That explains the stupidity. A fucking Win-droid.

Bugger off.

Try tying a string on your finger to remind you to take it.

> Have you heard of dual booting?

Yes, I have heard of it. I am quad-booting this particular laptop, but
there isn't any Windoze involved.

> Perhaps you can do a man lilo to get a clue.

I've forgotten more clues since I woke up this morning than you will ever
acquire in your entire miserable lifetime, you Win-droid wanker.

Besides, I use GRUB.

Your dual-booting seems to be broken. This keeps coming up.

Bugger off, you Win-droid stooge. This newsgroup is for people who use
Slackware. Run along and go update your viruses, or something.

It's not so much the X-Newsreader I'm pointing out..., it's the OS.

Heh. Is this better?
