Gee, it doesn't do that when I type in Aglami. It must be a local
version thing.
If search for Goalamo the first thing I get is Alamo car rentals. The
URL apparently means "Go Alamo"...

Great! Let's find such a link and then crotchpots it to the Belgian usenet!

Well, it's not like they need it in the first place. It's much better to read the Holy Bible or play Monopoly at

By the time they've read all your posts their download cap is reached.

People that need their ten daily soaps can't be bothered with stuff like
that. They just want someone to turn the telly on for them.

As if Polish people know how to read anyway. And they don't have a sense of humor.

It's not like I put a King James Bible in the headers of *all* my posts.

There you have a new and wonderful career. That's what I want as well. I'll tell my boss I'll quit.

You shouldnt use Google.nl
It;s evil.

It took me a while to figure that out, yes.

yup! so in that case it was necessary to register a second account, but that was only with the German
news server I think, because personally I never had those problems if I remember correctly, because my
provider provided a more or less decent news server. these days they only do that because of these idiot
internet users who sadly believe the usenet is a great place for getting illegal stuff...
