This is doubly true in this age where newsgroups fade out and posters 
vanish. David Brown is highly interested in entropy and death and would 
like to see that in the newsgroup comp.lang.c. He makes the case that 
coffee, recently found to agitate the liver a great deal, including 
cancer, is bad!

Cancer causes death, he intones!

We must be vigorous and determined and over-reaching, because David 
Brown realizes he is powerless to stop you from posting. Again, weakness 
and death!

In this time of disappearing newsgroups and fading Usenet, we must all 
tell people not to post in our groups, because they could never adapt 
and make better posts, because death!

We cannot encourage posting to the groups we like to post in!
