You can't shut down these groups. �You have no power over them.

You can't stop me from posting. �You have no power over me.

You can't stop posting nonsense to these groups. �You have no power
over your own behavior.

You are completely powerless. �Learn to live with that powerlessness.
Try a 12 Step program!


Step 1: Step to the edge of the cliff.
Step 2: Take one step forward.
Step 3: (Moot)

So why do I picture him doing the Looney Tunes bit after he steps over
the edge?  I know, he's slightly less sane than the duck, and nowhere
near as smart as the hunter.  It would be better for all if he were to
get a good running start, in any case.  But I supposed his keepers,
while willing to let him embarrass himself on the 'Net, won't let him
go for a hike in the hills.


Probably not (assuming he could recognize hills when he
encountered them). But if he followed my 12(3)-Step Program
it would certainly be a boon for the rest of us.

And FWIW, that's a job I'm happy to leave to others - Keeper
of the Loon. Or maybe it's the Artie/Gary Restraint
Society...
