So don't worry yourselves: Zeigen is on the prowl. John Alway asked: | Btw, what does the prefix "Ob" mean? I still can't | figure this one out. BTW stands for By The Way. (I know you didn't ask this.) Ob stands for "Obligatory." I stand for truth, justice, and the destruction of acronyms. Now, the thing about "Ob" is: When you crosspost to a bunch of groups, chances are you'll end up off-topic for some of them. To get around the vile breach of netiquette thus caused, what you do is make an off-hand comment. You're OBLIGED to do this, see, because otherwise you're off-topic. Because the Newsgroups line up there has five entries, this particular post must therefore have five obligatory comments: ObObjectivism (for alt.philosophy.objectivism): Wait, isn't the philosophy ============= of objectivism, when you boil it down, just SOMEONE'S OPINION? ObNeo-Tech (for alt.neo-tech): I've heard that Neo-Tech isn't compatible ========== with Windows 95. ObKibo (for alt.religion.kibology): Actually, this part isn't ====== required. ObFlame (for alt.flame): John, YPW. ======= YPW = You Pathetic Wanker (but I don't mean that personally, see, I was just REQUIRED to say it). ObYonder (for alt.mega-ego.yonderboy): Hey, Alex, I notice that you ======== tend to read EVERYTHING in your group. Does this take a long time? __________________________________________________________________________ -- Zeigen (E.
