You cannot be serious. Please tell me this is a joke.

Consider that a lot of this goofy posting is from a largely, if not
totally, anonymous poster using a particularly old version of Debian
Linux and associated news client.....

Google up the rec.boats proponents of Debian Linux and you will have
most of the usual suspects.....

He seems fairly straight forward to me - I'm not sure where
you developed this idea about goofy posting.

Besides, as somebody who suffers from skin infections of
one sort or another, it seemed like a perfectly valid question
and one that deserved a appropriate answer.

I'm not sure.... some of his prior questions have had such obvious
answers.... it just looked suspect. Some of those questions I offered
my advice. This latest one just seemed extremely obvious and, well,
odd..... and then I noticed that he was using the same posting schema
as the old anon-posting smithers.... made me even more suspicious....

In a cooking newsgroup, about six months ago:

"Can I make lasagna at home? How?"

Somewhere, these people are being stamped out like cookies.- Hide quoted

- Show quoted text -

Again, it's entirely possible that somebody doesn't know.


The OP got upset when numerous people said "Go buy a box of lasagna noodles.
There's a recipe on every box, always, no exceptions".

I never thought I'd be like my parents, and saying "Young man, when I was
your age {fill in boring historical stuff here}...", but my roommate and I
went and bought a cookbook. We learned to cook. We didn't die.
