Which is a shame, because it was less than two years ago that we had the
following gem from Mark "The Musical" Levinson...
"The admin is a fink"
Thu, 31 Aug 2000 13:10:42 +0200
He hates discussions of Frame versus Word.
Lets Andrew Plato be frequently heard.
Tells advertisers what fees they've incurred.
That's why the admin is a fink.
He gets impatient with forwarded gags.
Won't help you solve your grammatical snags.
He won't take e-mail with formatting tags.
That's why the admin is a fink.
He has this long,
stern
list of his rules.
Won't suffer fools.
Rude post?
You're toast.
Won't let subscribers say all that they think.
That's why the admin is a fink.

Sam: Now, that's outrageous. There's a thousand men working here and fifty
women.
CJ: Yes, and it's the bathrobes that are outrageous.
Apologies for the long additional sig: it is added automatically and outwith
my control.
