(OT)(HUMOR) What really happens...

[Steve Lamb]

    OK, normally I'd be pretty peeved at people for posting things from other
forums here, but hey, this one at least relates to a topic recently discussed
so I'm going to invoke the dreaded "It's my server, my bandwidth, dammit!"
rule (once in a year, I'm doing good, eh?) and post this here.  Flames to
/dev/null, kudos to Ralph since he is more deserving than I.

    Without further ado, this is what /really/ happens when you go against the
conventions of the internet.  ;)

You will be cast down with the WebTV users and forever doomed to use 
Microsoft software. Your wife will run off with your best friend. Your 
house will burn down, your computer will "format c:", you will be framed 
for treason, and Pat Buchanan will be elected as president.

You have been warned.

You're also posting upside down, which condems you to a life of servitude 
to Bill Gates, but you can easily redeem yourself by posting your reply 
UNDER the quoted text and SNIP the quote to an appropriate length.
