I know it must be exciting to be learning how to use news, and to realize that
the articles you post will be seen by literally thousands of people around the
world. And it must be great and punk to inflame all those people by posting
something totally inappropriate to a particular newsgroup. But after you've
been here a while, hopefully you'll realize that lame attempts to attract
attention are just as boring on the Internet as they are in person.
Why not just dye your hair green and go grocery shopping. It will get just
as many stares, and when you're done, at least you'll have something to show
for it.
And if you think it would be funny to follow up this posting with more
irrelevant material, think again. Plenty of people know how to cancel articles,
including ones other people wrote, and they're more than willing to cancel
yours.
In the future, try alt.dev.nul or alt.test.
