	I have to agree with you entirely.  Though the "I'm a sophomore too, and I=
 am n/x who have one at my school, w/....." comments get old, there are=
 still obviously people interested in them, and if that pleases them to have=
 a pleasent conversation, by all means, let it be.  When someone needs to=
 talk about something specific about Fargo, they can post the message, and=
 they will most likely be responded to.  They just have to understand that=
 90% of us here have no more knowledge of Fargo other than how to install it=
 and use it, and rotate the blocks in Ftris.  At first I didn't know how to=
 rotate the blocks in Ftris.  I admit.  So what did I do, post a message=
 about it 30 times?  No, I just read the first 5 messages in my mailbox, and=
 what do you know.  My god, there seems to be a question about this already!=
  What do you know?  Now I don't have to annoy these people.  It's just=
 common sense.  And then all the people that flame people because there sig=
 is too long, or that their off topic, and even ME with what I'm writing=
 right now as I speak....  We're just wasting messages, when we should just=
 let it go, and not mess with it, a thousand "The virus is a hoax" messages=
 do us no good, when 15 people then second that message, and tell them they=
 have been computer professionals since the dark ages, and EVERYONE should=
 know that knowledge, etc.  It's all just a waste of bandwidth.  (New FAQ=
 question:  How can we double the speed of the Internet?  Simple.  Cut all=
 this crap j/k) =20


Ahh well...  I suppose I'm just wasting my time trying.. forget it.
