Strange Habits and Ticks
- If there's one thing I can't stand, it's Internet newbies who spam
your e-mail or net news with irrelevant advertising, knowing nothing
about Net Etiquette. For these people, their hell is the wonderful

Also try news.admin.net-abuse.misc.
- Here are some professionals at attacking the advertisement industry:
Adbusters
(please explore heavily).
- The gosh-darned coolest TV show to ever grace the idiot box,
The Prisoner.

Wired Magazine Phrase Generator and you will cancel your
subscription
- One of my favorite newsgroups, alt.folklore.urban, has this
interesting
FAQ.
- The legendary
exploding whale video used to be available at the
alt.folklore.urban site, but it now has a new home.
- Need advice on stalking that special someone? Maybe you can find some
ideas on the

worth a second try.)

doesn't do a bad job either.
- The beginnings of my
real-life KILL file.
- Guilty by association: home pages of various friends of mine...
- "You will communicate on the Internet as we tell you to, you
will buy from us,
and you will like it. Understood?"
