Shit, I'm bored..

I'm bored shitless today, so it's time to start a net war.

I open up comp.misc and post an article about how Macs suck and that the Amiga has a far better graphics manipulation interface.

No-one bites.

Well, sure, a couple of first-year computer geeks from childhood post messages agreeing with me because compared to their C64, the amiga HAS got the best graphics interface they've ever seen, and if they evber see a mac in real life they'll prove it.

But there's no *real* movement in the net. You know the sort; self-righteous net-hero, machine-bigot characters that make *great* computer salespeople:

    "Hi, I'm *Bob*, your tour guide thru the shark-infested waters of
    computer purchasing!
    You wanna computer, well forget that shit you got from the other
    places - this is the baby for you.  Look at that, 16 bit colour -
    Well ok, that *would* mean shit to you, but let me tell you this baby
    can calculate Pi to 5 million decimal places in - ok, so maybe you
    don't want Pi to 5 million places, but this little beauty has enough
    hard disk to store the bible 10,000 times ov - ok, so you only need
    one copy of the bible, but look at it's sleek designs, just the thing
    for the office desk - ok, so you work in the sewers, but just think
    of - HEY, HAVE YOU GOT ANY MONEY?...  NO?   FUCK OFF!!"

Arseholes.

Anyway, I'm getting no bites. I go to alt.sex and post a question like "Is it true that guys suck shit?" and wait for the response and counter-attack.

Nothing.

Shit, the net's dead! I check our external feed - it seems to be ok?

Last chance, alt.feminism, which is almost ready to be called soc.men too - there's so many men posting to it about their perceptions of the castration complex, and why they shouldn't wear contraceptives etc etc. 92% flame and counterflame.

I read a couple of messages. One goes something like:
