While we often get off-topic, specifically striving for such a thread probably doesn't belong here... >Anderson's Farewell adress- sept 9 'Four weeks and 7 days ago, our founding members brought forth on this USENET a new newsgroup, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men, except for the Holy Spoon, are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great idiocity war, testing whether any members of this newsgroup or any newsgroup so conceived and so dedicated can long endure, especially when faced with the never ending flood of 'newbies' that strike at the hearts of man. And Yea though I walk... oops, wrong speach... We are now met on a great battlefield of this war on Donna/Michael Anderson. He has come to dedicate a portion of his legacy as a final resting-place for those who have failed before him so that their newbism might live. It is altogether foolish and weak that he should do this, as we all know that newbies come, and newbies go... but we have boldly gone where no newbie has gone before... Into the realm of statistics, well thought diatribe, meaningless flame, and unholy idolism of the BWSFDU (BigWhiteStiff FromDownUnder). But, in a larger sense, we cannot condone, we cannot desecrate, we cannot hallow the ground by which Donna/Michael walks on, for he will be going to Valdosta State, taking with him his massive intellect, that ensures him he will be smarter than all others and highly likely to succeed where few have done so before. The brave men, both flamed and unflamed who struggled here in an effort to show Donna/Michael the light have consecrated it far above the pathetic and weak powers of SKF. The world will little not nor long remember what Donna/Michael has said here, but it will never forget what he did here. It is for us the remaining rather than the summer newbie crowd to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which he fought so hard to instill... Lack of logic, the ability to embarrass one's self, the incredible skill it takes to fight one's self into a corner with no way out... >From these honored newbies of times past, SKF, Coz, D.Turner, Donna/Michael, we must increase our devotion to the causes for which we should give our full measure of devotion -- Useless promotion of BWSFDU, the Mighty Spoon, the weak and foolish jordon, GGGGHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRGGGGHHHHHHEEE, and all the rest so that they will not have played and suffered in vain... That on this newsgroup Under Spoon shall they be forever remembered, and that they will be honored by the people, for the people, and of the people...
