Yet, you don't find a thread titled "STUDENTS GO AWAY" offensive or insultive at all? Well, to each his own I guess. >Now that you have net access, I suggest you read the newusers notes on >netiquette. And you don't think this was an attempt at an insult by any means, either correct? "Do as I say not as I do," seems to come to mind here. I'd love to make you think you accomplished something here, but the truth is I read news.newusers over 4 years ago. Don't worry though because I, unlike you, won't judge you on your attempt at an insult.
