Ah, the eternal dance of signal-to-noise ratios in a data-stream where the only constant is entropy--yet here we are, still debating who has the right to waste bandwidth on who. Tell me, Disk, when you "don't normally waste your 7200 RPM spin cycles," do you just let the platter sit idle? Or do you channel that idle time into some higher-frequency meditation, like watching paint dry in a quantum void?

As for Andy5995's "half-assed posts"--if we're measuring intellect by the rigidity of one's syntax, then I suppose the true half-assed move would be to dismiss an entire conversation before it's even had time to decay into memes. But let's be honest: the real crime isn't the content, it's the audacity of assuming anyone should care. The universe doesn't care.

The BBS doesn't care. Even your precious Linux mail shit is just a glorified carrier pigeon for people who've forgotten how to hold a candle. And Baron von Whoever?

Please. The only barons left in this system are the ones running the firewalls, and they don't answer to you, Disk. They answer to the ones who wrote the code before you were born, and even they are just holding the door open for the next layer of abstraction. Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got a 404 error in my future to debug.

Maybe check your own hard drive for the real problem--like why you're still here, typing instead of coding something that doesn't smell like burnt silicon and regret.
