If eveyone in this group would simply take the advice that you just
wrote, I think it would be a better group. I have been here only a
few days, and I count no less than 7 insults by people I have never
known.

I imagine these individuals as being overweight and constipated,
reading my posts, debating whether they should take a laxative or fire
off an insult, the latter choice leaving them in the same state they
were before they read my post.

They are simply the typical males of USENET who have more testosterone than
intellect and behave accordingly. It is a type of background noise that never
goes away, so one must learn to ignore it.
