Yup. That's what the AGW crowd uses as justification for their
hysteria.


**** you. I'm not hysterical.

NEITHER AM I AND I'LL SUE ANYONE WHO SAYS DIFFERENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's moments like these I wish I had the Berserker running. I'd hit both
of
those posts with the Tourette Bot

However I'm only in Oz for a few days to visit my kids so it's not been
worth setting up.

I need more coffee. I thought the opening comment in in the first archive
said "This script is intended to be used with a restraint order..."

In case you're wondering where I got the idea of transforming kooks'
posts in order to make fun of them, I got the idea from you, of
course.

Compliment taken, even if none was intended.

A compliment was intended. I'm slowly working towards writing a "Fred"
emulator for *nix.

If you were still alive I'd thank you properly.



Neat stuff. I tend to code my transformations long-hand and don't make much
use of RegEx. I'm of the opinion that Visual Studio's RegEx is slow, plus I
need to learn it to a deeper level than I currently know it. I'll
disassemble your code into pseudocode to understand what it's doing. Many
thanks.

I'd rather use a standard library like PCRE, but in order to do so I'd
have to make my code portable, and if I learned how to do that I'd no
longer be able to start Usenet comments with "I'm not a programmer,
but...".

In between getting full body massages and toe-sucks from any one of several
Timorese rent-wives

Tip: try not to call one of them by another's name.

I'm writing Berserker VI from the ground up as a basic
newsreader with all the bots within easy reach. I intend to GPL the source
and put it up on my site, eventually.

Thanks in advance for that. Please use GPL 2, not 3.

However living in heaven is my
priority at the moment and electricity is a rare commodity.

Are you a regular in misc.survivalism yet?
