Dude, |

Do you comprehend the simplicity of what folk here are telling you? |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
We do not have a news service because we[1] do not feel we need one and do not |
| 20 |
desire one. Therefore it is *highly* unlikely there will be one. You can use |

Hardly anyone here is listening to you or taking you seriously, and here's |

I've been here for 4 years. I'm one of the conceited loud-mouths and I still |
| 36 |
get myself regularly bitch-slapped by people who are just as good as I am. |
| 37 |
From that position, I actually feel quite personally offended by your |
| 38 |
attitude. I've earned some of my attitude stripes. You have yet to begin. |

consensus" |
