 It's impossible to see them and not tripp on one here or there 
 These are some *bad* *ass* trolls Usenet has. 
 It's impossible to always say no 
 You even get *your* *share* of the fun lovin, Russ :)

 One thing you can guarantee, though: if you don't try, you'll never 
 have to find out it might have succeeded, and you can be very smug 
 about your species' extinction as it is happening: "I _told_ them 
 there was no way to bring peace to this planet!"
