FLAME RESPONSE FORM
---------------------------
If you are part of any public listervs - which are public discussion
group - you are all too aware of the craziness of being part of
such as group: Threads (Continuing Discussions) which last a lifetime,
insanely boorish comments and the all too common trite replies
"I agree"
Well there is now a standard reply form for FLAMING
(listed under the government e-mail paperwork reduction act)
For those unfamiliar with the term, flaming is the immediate
and often irrational response to emails that annoy you.
They can be sent to individual on public listervs -
where people mouth off their opinions.
PS. If you are new to the web, read carefully to avoid
being flamed yourself.
This is a bit long, but you have all weekend
