Yes, because I am "John C. Welch" (tm) (c), the 23rd. Creator of
worlds, destroyer of evil. The next coming of greatness to the universe.
Now that Netscape is released, and I don't like it, I'm going to bitch
bitch bitch. And you have to listen, because I am "John C. Welch" (tm)
(c). And I will reply to every single posting, because I always have to
have the last word, and I always have something to say. Don't mess with
me, "John C. Welch", because I will stump your bloody, or bloody your
stump. I know everything about computers, because I have been working
on them forever. And I wrote a BASIC program once. So don't you tell
me to go away you whipper snapper.
Get on the ground and beg for forgiveness. Because I can change the
universe by bitching and ranting. I once bitched at Bill Gates, by
posting to alt.sex.bill.gates. They tried to tell me it was the wrong
group, but I bloodied their stump, and now look where Bill is...

That's irrelevant. How dare you question me. I was just replying
because I always reply to everything. And I am going to ignore
everything you are saying because you have not begged for forgiveness
and said the magic phrase "Yes you are right, we are so lost without you
John C. Welch (c) (tm). Please bitch at us so that we open-source
kiddies will understand the real world. Which you created and know
everything about".

Yes, listen to me. All those programs like Bind, and Sendmail, and
FreeBSD, lynx, pine, and GNU-whatever that don't do anything are just
adolescent programs. I don't understand them anyways, so they must not
do anything important.
Now that Netscape has release 6.0, and I can understand what a browser
is, I am going to bitch and rant in this news group until Netscape does
everything I want it to. And, by the way, I think you should rename it
to be Welchscape and Welchzilla, since I am saving your souls with my
ranting that is going to save the universe and teach you developers a
thing or two about the real world. Even though I just started reading
this news group last week, and have no idea that these topics have been
discussed repeatedly. But that's irrelevant, because that occurred
before I came to this news group. Now that I am here, we have to
discuss everything again. Because I always have a reply to everything.

Because I like to hear the sound of my typing. Haven't you been
listening to me? Just because I haven't listened to you, doesn't mean
you can ignore me. I will fill your news group with irrelevant replies
until you listen to me.

And I speak for the vast majority of people whether they agree with me
or not. Damn it.
Now go away. This is my news group now, since I'm posting the most.
And start doing everything I say. Now.

I know everything. So just listen to me.
