Caric enlightened us with these words of wisdom:

That'll teach you. Folks, there are thousands of Gurth-Carp-Shooter
rip-offs out there. You have to be sure who you are dealing with. If they
can't show you their license, don't do business.

Caric, you've been lucky so far. There have been cases of serious accidents
with imitation carp shooters that malfunction. I don't even want to begin
to describe the carnage. Please, for your own safety, go out and pick up an
authentic GCS immediately.

I thank you all for your kindly contributions to the "Keep Shawn's Posts
From Sucking" effort. However, after carefully researching each of the
online mail servers and weighing their individual merits and flaws, I
now know that THEY ALL SUCK WORSE THAN WEBTV! Unbelievable that in this
stage of the Internet, not one of those idiots bothered to give the
ability to quote another e-mail! All they would have had to do is let
you copy another e-mail onto the current one you are writing and edit
it, but NOT ONE does! I've been online for over two years now, and it
saddens me to see that the Internet, while growing exponentially, hasn't
improved to damn much! Y'all are just gonna have to put up with my
indirect quoting and I apologize now for any future misunderstandings.
