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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


... Have a y day.
