Helpless?  Losers? *grin*

Naw, there was nothing malicious intended by the post, it was just a joke.
My apologies to any AOLers who were angered because of my post, though I
haven't gotten any flames (oh, aside from this quasi-flame) yet.  I can't
remember if I considered crossposting it to alt.hackers, but I probably
reasoned that I would have to have an ObHack, and mine are always so lame
that they embarass me. (see below :)

Since this IS an alt.hackers crosspost, I'll post my obhack.

ObHTMLHack:

I don't have access to anywhere to make an HTML page without paying $$,
so I hadn't made one, until I saw a bot on alt.irc with an IRCNAME
pointing to an HTML on an ftp://... site.  So, I reasoned, it must be
possible to interpret HTML documents at FTP sites using a program like
Lynx, and so it was!

I've set it up and I think it's pretty neat, though it's down right now
and I'm not going to distribute the address until the sysadmin on whose
system I erected the site gives his approval -- I don't want to anger
him, since I'm paying him nothing and giving him little in return for the
access. (see my FTP post, alt.hackers's)
