And here you are, posting this to someone you couldn't even say WTFM ;D)

Now you're going too far, try and menace us that they'd be another Dan,
at least make it a steely one and let this C sharp.

Step 1- Read post about a guy who failed to follow the clear
instructions and screwed up his box.

Step 2- Point out that this person and others like him/her need to
learn how to follow clearly written instructions.

Step 3- Get flamed.

Step 4- *plonk*

Dan C. is the alpha-dog of the pack of wild dogs that seek to dominate
this group. He's sort of an institution here... indeed is probably the
stereotype of the Slackware user... uncouth, uncivilized, and probably
unwashed. Still, you have to admire him. He (like RM) has been able to
stay cloaked even after some of the best techno-sleuths have tried to
'out' him (them).

Dan gives this group a certain 'character' and 'flavor.' These days he
provides about the only entertainment on this group. Melissa hardly
posts, 'ken' does not come out and dance when I play, RM was never
really much fun, being obsessed with PGP... and Hicks stays quiet in
Alabama (or wherever he is these days.) And even I'm too busy these days
to pop around here too often and play a tune that the dogs will howl to.

You can't get a good flame war off the ground anymore. It's almost like
this group is getting civilized. Next there will be women joining AOLS.
I hope there is an alpha-bitch to balance Dan C. That will be fun.

Dan C is more like a lone wolf. He doesn't get along in a pack, or
any other social situation, and he has never been laid, although he
did sniff around his mother from time to time, until the other dogs
drove him off. From what we're told, he only sniffed around his
mother because he didn't want the other dogs to think he's gay.

Thanks for the kind words. But Dan C's identity has never been an
issue. Nobody really gives a ****. We think you give him way too
much credit. We decided a long time ago that nothing is really
happening in Dan C posts and we killfiled him long ago. We suggest
that everybody else do the same. We doubt he'd be missed.
