Notice to Americans
Notice to Americans of Revocation of Independence from the Government of Her
Majesty Queen Elizabeth II To the citizens of the United States of America: In the light of your failure to elect a sane President of the United States and thus to govern yourselves with consideration for the rest of world, we hereby give notice of the Revocation of your Independence, effective immediately . Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will resume monarchical duties over all states, commonwealths and other territories. Except Utah, which she does not fancy. Your new prime minister (The Rt Hon, Tony Blair, MP for the 97.85% of you who have until now been unaware that there is a world outside your borders) will appoint a Minister for America without the need for further elections. Congress and the Senate will be disbanded. A questionnaire will be circulated next year to determine whether any of you noticed. To aid in the transition to a British Crown Dependency, the following rules are introduced with immediate effect: 1. You should look up "revocation" in the Oxford English Dictionary. Then look up "aluminium". Check the pronunciation guide. You will be amazed at just how wrongly you have been pronouncing it. Generally, you should raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels. Look up "vocabulary". Using the same twenty seven words interspersed with filler noises such as "like" and "you know" is an unacceptable and inefficient form of communication. Look up "interspersed". 2. There is no such thing as "US English". We will let Microsoft know on your behalf. 3. Arrest Mel Gibson for treason. 4. You should relearn your original national anthem, "God Save The Queen", but only after fully carrying out task 1. We would not want you to get confused and give up half way through. 5. You should stop playing American "football". There is only one kind of football. What you refer to as American "football" is not a very good game. The 2.15% of you who are aware that there is a world outside your borders may have noticed that no one else plays "American" football. You will no longer be allowed to play it, and should instead play proper football. Initially, it would be best if you played with the girls. It is a difficult game. Those of you brave enough will, in time, be allowed to play rugby (which is similar to American "football", but does not involve stopping for a rest every twenty seconds or wearing full Kevlar body armour like nancies). We are hoping to get together at least a US rugby sevens side by 2005. 6. Stop referring to the "World Series" of Baseball and instead call it the "USA, Cuba and Japan Championship." 7. Learn to enjoy warm flat beer and steak and kidney pudding. Train waitresses to be more aggressive with customers and not to tell you their names before you eat. 8. You should declare war on Quebec and France, using nuclear weapons if they give you any merde. 9. The 98.85% of you who were not aware that there is a world outside your borders should count yourselves lucky. The Russians have never been the "bad guys". 10. July 4th is no longer a public holiday. November 4th will be a new national holiday, but only in England. It will be called "Revocation Day." 11. Driving on the left is now compulsory - recall all cars to effect the change immediately. 12. Please tell us who killed JFK. It's been driving us crazy. Tax collectors from Her Majesty's Government will be with you shortly to ensure the acquisition of all revenues due (backdated to 1776). Thank you for your cooperation and have a nice day! |

the 2nd, hence "November 4th will be a new national holiday". Obviously too subtle for a Yank! "Doug Dotson" wrote in message ... 10. July 4th is no longer a public holiday.

You should stop playing American "football". There is only one kind of football. What you refer to as American "football" is not a very good game. The 2.15% of you who are aware that there is a world outside your borders may have noticed that no one else plays "American" football. You will no longer be allowed to play it, and should instead play proper football. Initially, it would be best if you played with the girls. It is a difficult game. Those of you brave enough will, in time, be allowed to play rugby (which is similar to American "football", but does not involve stopping for a rest every twenty seconds or wearing full Kevlar body armour like nancies). We are hoping to get together at least a US rugby sevens side by 2005. 6. Stop referring to the "World Series" of Baseball and instead call it the "USA, Cuba and Japan Championship." 7. Learn to enjoy warm flat beer and steak and kidney pudding. Train waitresses to be more aggressive with customers and not to tell you their names before you eat. 8. You should declare war on Quebec and France, using nuclear weapons if they give you any merde. 9. The 98.85% of you who were not aware that there is a world outside your borders should count yourselves lucky. The Russians have never been the "bad guys". 10. July 4th is no longer a public holiday. November 4th will be a new national holiday, but only in England. It will be called "Revocation Day." 11. Driving on the left is now compulsory - recall all cars to effect the change immediately. 12. Please tell us who killed JFK. It's been driving us crazy. Tax collectors from Her Majesty's Government will be with you shortly to ensure the acquisition of all revenues due (backdated to 1776). Thank you for your cooperation and have a nice day! |

NO it's an excuse for being too lazy to learn to use whatever editor is bundled with his reader software. YEs I got my start back in the days of FIdonet, still using a dos box on the internet with a 28.8 modem, won't do dsl until my LInux box is ready. I'll still bottom post no matter what method I use to access the net as it makes reading easier. HEy most of the top posters are too lazyto trim all the necessary verbiage including sig files and brag lines from the posts they're replying to, if they top post they just save and send away not thinking about how many miles of crap they leave which we get to download again and again ad nauseum. I'll still read posters with relevant content in threads I follow no matter where they post, but it sure makes it easier when folks trim their posts and place their comments after the text to which they're responding. ESpecially where in my case I look in on a group such as this one only occasionally. Makes it nice to see what I've missed of a thread that may be relevant. 73 Richard Webb, amateur radio callsign nf5b active on the Maritime Mobile service network, 14.300 mhz REplace anything before the @ symbol with elspider for real email -- A good captain is one who is hoisting his first drink in a bar when the storm hits. |

Next time you see a thread that needs limiting, you could really help us all by immediately posting a reply limit. What do you think best, limiting the number of reply levels, or some kind of cut-off after a certain number of posters have become involved? Maybe you could go even further, assigning a posting limit to individual Usenet posters. I guess the only practical way to do this would be to regulate Usenet by issuing Participants' Licenses.
