Go ahead.

I don't get the point. What's the connection between MM's poor documentation
and "low-talented" Branden?

What merchants?

I don't agree.

What has a registration symbol to do with writings?

Whatever.

What you're writing is not irony, it's bullshit (IMHO).

Finally! You just made my day.

William, as said before, shut the f*** up! Go, unsubscribe! Not a great loss
for the Flasher community at all.
Sorry to continue this stupid thread, but I just couldn't close my mouth.
Making "funny" jokes about other peoples typos, complaining about the work
provided by other people on the list for *free* and then this stupid
personal attacks... just *had* to reply.
