What's the problem with someone taking out a foundation with the sole

Could your many antics on Usenet over the last two decades be described

"gentlemanly"? Or is "depraved" a better descriptor?

What's wrong with young people taking up the hobby? Children are the

Hey, don't pick on Gareth, just because his shirt is white and yours isn't, isn't any reason to pick on the guy!
Gareth brings up some good points.
I can't help it if most of you don't have anything to discuss when he doesn't say anything.
I think he brings up some valid points.
If you choose not to do anything except jabber on some local repeater with your handheld and act like you know something over the internet, doesn't mean that you are any smarter or better than he is!

Maybe you people ought to pick up a soldering iron once in a while and do something more than nothing.
Take a old computer monitor apart, or a old television or build an antenna before you attack someone with your drivel.
