I've had "insulting" banter with my best buddies all my life. I got it from my father, who was in the Army Air Corps in the Second. The fun part of it is coming up with really good material because nobody takes it seriously. Granted, much gets lost in the translation to Usenet, even more so when it involves a controversial character. The s*it I come up with in Real Life would probably make you cringe, but I guarantee I'm not the only one like that.
Obviously, you are carrying a long-standing grudge, considering the Snakes have been around over 4 years at this point. If you can remember what you asked, ask me again. If not, then I apologize to you, too.
Nobody here should take me seriously unless I'm spewing tech stuff.
