   Oh, fucking whatever.  Dumbasses who think afts was so great in the past and   
   mourn the current state haven't a clue.  It's like listening to people who   
   'mourn' the fact that popular music was better in the 70s or 80s or even 90s   
   than it is today.  LAME.   
      
   Instead of asking for an obituary, just fucking leave, and stop pretending   
   it is more than that.
