 DHC> This smells suspiciously like  
"chat". This is /not/ a
 DHC> "general" echo, newbiemeat. The dwarves don't give a
 what your
 DHC> message base or some sissy-op says about it; this is Mindless Chatter and
 DHC> Drivel; the Worst echo in Fidonet, and there are only
two topics in
 DHC> here, newbie-bashing, and drivel. I'm not drivelling ATM, but I am still
 DHC> on-topic for this echo, so I'll let those two atoms in that empty cavity
 DHC> of yours that you call a head randomly collide so that you can figure it
 DHC> out for yourself...

Are you not driveling ATM??????
I have never managed to drivel with an ATM either. They give me my money and
if I'm lucky I'll get a receipt and that's all.

 DHC> Some advice for you so that you don't make the same idiotic blunder ever
 DHC> again:

 DHC> DON'T complain. There's nothing like a whining newbie to get the dwarves
 DHC> on your scent. Once they are, there's no hope for you.

Very nice put Cinderella.

 DHC> DON'T get mad. This will only get every dwarf in the whole blamed echo on
 DHC> your , painting a large red and blue target on it, after which
 DHC> you will be tossed into the firing range for target practice with the
 DHC>  cannons and catapults, then Lou Dripkin will do the EWE dance
 DHC> over your shattered remains.

Oh.....don't bring up those happy memories.

 DHC> DON'T apologize. This will only enrage the dwarves even further, and whip
 DHC> them into a frenzy the like we haven't seen since last month's kale went
 DHC> on sale for $1.275 a pound. If you have trouble understanding this, it
 DHC> will be explained to you in painful detail by Guido and Nunzio, the
 DHC> Jewish flatulators.

Sorry. My mistake. Woun't happend again.

 DHC> DO read 1275 messages; within which you should find a posting of Da
 DHC> Rulz, which will be posted by Da Head Cheese, or a reasonable
 DHC> facsimile.

 .

 DHC> DO read Da Rulz. Learn them. Study them. LIVE them. They
are the only
 DHC> thing between you and the Jobob Morgan Memorial Privy and Escape
 DHC> Chute.

I just saw Jobob put his coffe cup on the freezer, reaching for his spade.
Can't be a positive thing.

 DHC> DO sned $127.50 in small, unmarked bills to the office of Sgt. Stubby
 DHC> MacPherson, c/o of CADB Calgary, for your snedding papers, phunny hat,
 DHC> aardvark detector, and any other rediculous and unnecessary things we
 DHC> might think of. Don't be suprised if none of the aforementioned items
 DHC> ever arrive... we make no promises here, except that you'll regret your
 DHC> stay.

That explains why Stubby can afford the real stuff instead of the 
called bourbon.

 DHC> This is the only "nice" message I will send to you.

Nod.

 DHC> ... Have a y day.

Thanks Brother and the same to you.
