Petty fools. This is only a TEST POST. You’ve fallen for the oldest trick in the book, the one that single-handedly keeps junk e-mail distributors afloat. You see a catchy subject heading…open the e-mail…and BAM…you’re added to hundreds of porno/fake diploma mailing lists. It’s just sad. I weep for the death of the soul. Hi. This is my first post. ---

Thank you for bringing our shortcomings to our attention. Your concerns have been duly noted. We just won’t read any more of your posts. ---

Welcome. When can I expect my _Felchers Monthly_? ---

Cowboy, I was engaging in hyperbole, exaggeration. Except for your lifetime struggle with Tourette’s Syndrome, you have no shortcomings, and I don’t really consider that a shortcoming. I think it makes you “special.” ---

Actually, I opened this thread because Great Caesar’s Ghost is my crack dealer. He gives me good prices, too… in return, I get him issues of “PlayGhost”. ---

Hey, “Imbibo ergo sum” means, “I drink, therefore I am,” no? ---

Darn right I noticed, Myron Van Horticulture. I took four years of Latin in high school. Actually, I had to debate whether or not “imbibo” (or whatever) was future tense, because I seem to remember “bi” indicating just such a tense, but “I _will_ drink, therefore I am,” makes no sense, and you seem to be the kind of guy who makes sense. Cripes. I have to remember to show MY signiture…my non-Latin signature, but sig nonetheless… ---

Damnit, Steve-O, there IS no porn! It was all an elaborate hoax. There never was any porn and never will be any porn. No “Terrors From the Clit,” no “Anal Angels IV,” no “Bootyguard,” no “National Geographic: Issue 398,” no nothing. No porn. Move along now. ---

Funny, there seem to be a few websites out there that would dispute that… And you mean, of course, that we fell for the _third_ oldest trick in the book, the oldest being, “Never get involved in a land war in Asia”, an only slightly less well-known being “Never go up against a Sicilian when death is on the li-- _ack_ _croak_” ---
