Earlier the same day, i was trying to find some info about a font activation problem online, and found myself reading a list. One lister kept giving short, and even usefull replies that were 1-3 lines max, but she literally had 20 lines of sig&  quotes coming up in every post. It was easy to see that she cared about the bill of rights, but having the preamble to the Constitution in every frakking post is just annoying.   Don't even get me started about attaching logos and smilies.

I feel your pain; some people do not distinguish between license and 
liberty.

It's cool, petitioning for redress of perceived wrongs is what civilized 
people do, too.  It is in the interests of informing the due process of 
justice you seek that I speak.
