Trolling news groups, looking to inflame. A fine waste of bandwidth.
Just think, if you dumped dumbcast, it would save 50 beans a month
(plus others wouldn't be subjected to your dribble). After a year
you'd have enough to buy a decent scanner.

Hmmmm, let me think about this. Given the choice between trolling
news groups and listening to scanners. I know what my choice was and
I'm pretty sure I've got yours figured out too.
