   Oooh, what have those meddlesome poltroons in alt.cyberpunk been   
   doing to you, Bill? Something nasty?

   Around this newsgroup, we normally just shout "LAWSUIT!!!!1", rather   
   than blathering on about it for a few pages. Of course, around here   
   the LAWSUIT!!1!!11!s never happen, unlike YOUR LAWSUIT!1!!! which I   
   bet is TOTALLY REAL AND NOT AN EMPTY THREAT AT ALL!!1!

   If the forgeries really are that tedious, then I think you might   
   beable to sue the forgers with one of those "Look-And-Feel" actions!!   
   Because that means they're not just forging your "screen name",   
   they're STEALING YOUR CHOPS! THOSE BASTARDS!!!1

   SO MUCH DENOUNCEMENT IT'S ALL OVER YOU SCREEN!!
