Do you hate seeing ASCII in posts? We do. We feel that all posts which consist of nothing but 7-bit ASCII are substantively identical and should be cancellable. Just how many times do we need to see the letter 'E'? The BI for just that one single character has to be in the hundreds of millions, if not billions. We have seen single posts that are BI > 20 just because of that one single character. That's ignoring the rest of them as well. We shall entertain any comments before making a final decision in this matter.. -- The Abuse Team at Sexzilla.net A Usnt Dath Pnalty might b in ordr. You should chck this ida out with Stanly J Kalisch III and/or Chris Lwis. E's are nothing. Have you checked out 0x20?

As protest against this blatant injustice, I shall from this point onward quote everybody else's posts with doubled vowels. Boobby Teendiiniitiis wrootee:
When they came for the vowels,
I kept quiet because I wasn't a vowel. |
