TWITS
|
|
|
|
1. Twits love DOWNLOADING. Uploading is for simpletons who can't tell
|
|
whether they are coming or going. If Twits designed modems, we'd all
|
|
have one which downloads at 18.2 K-Baud, and uploads at 300 baud. If
|
|
twits wrote protocols, the smallest block they could receive would
|
|
be 10 megs.
|
|
|
|
2. Twits can't READ or COUNT. This is evidenced by their total
|
|
inability to comprehend System Rules, or Upload / Download Ratio's.
|
|
But, for some strange reason, they can still use a computer.
|
|
|
|
3. Twits feel that the proper way to leave a board is to drop the
|
|
carrier. They do this because they don't want to waste their valuable
|
|
time exiting via the "Goodbye" command, when they could spend that
|
|
time calling another board.
|
|
|
|
4. Twits NEVER leave messages, unless it is rude, crude, or socially
|
|
unacceptable. If an exception to this exists, it will probably be a
|
|
creative one-liner such as "Hi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!".
|
|
Twits rarely reply to messages. Unless they enter a one-liner such as
|
|
the one above.
|
|
|
|
5. Twits NEVER communicate with SysOps, unless it is to ask WHY such
|
|
and such file is unavailable, demand access to the "Private Area's",
|
|
or gripe about something. Mail from the SysOp is considered to be the
|
|
electronic equivalent of "Junk-Mail", and should be ignored. In fact,
|
|
there should be some form of law to stop it from being written.
|
|
|
|
6. Twits NEVER EVER pay for access to a computer system. They see
|
|
themselves as latter-day "Robin-Hoods", taking from the rich (SysOps)
|
|
and giving to the Poor (Themselves). Their motto: "If it isn't free,
|
|
it isn't worth having."
|
|
|
|
7. Twits NEED multiple user names and logon passwords on each board
|
|
they call. This is the measure of their Twit-dom, and reflects their
|
|
true status in the Twit-community. A Twit with only ONE user name and
|
|
logon password per board is a FAILURE, and faces censure and possible
|
|
expulsion from their peer group. (It is no wonder that Twits exhibit
|
|
schizo-tendancies).
