   It neither consoles nor disheartens me, but I do think your citing it   
   is interesting and worth responding to so I will in the course of this   
   post.  First though, this message from our Sponsors...   
      
        
        
      
     IRRITATE has detected a moderation-triggering fault in your post,   
     specifically your use of the word  SPONSORS.  [Help FAQ Explanation:   
     Sponsors?!?  We have Sponsors?  On Usenet?  That does not compute.   
     Wethinks you are mistaken, Hu-Man.]   
      
     IRRITATE has analyzed the context of your use of the offending word   
     and concluded that your post is either SPAM or a TROLL, mostly likely   
     the latter.  In either case your post is therefore also likely to result in   
     an escalation of feeling in the visceral or "Lizard Section" of the brains   
     of some Hu-Mans, who might otherwise have been allowed to read   
     the rest of your post.   
      
     You may want to consider removing the offending word and   
     resubmitting your post.  If you believe IRRITATE's decision to terminate   
     the remainder of your post has been in error, please submit any   
     enquires to toughbeans [at] frack-you-too-eh.org.   
      
     To readers who might have been interested in reading the rest of this   
     post, have a nice day, in moderation.  Nothing else to see here.  Move   
     along.
