      Or one of the following:

      A) Perhaps english isn't my first language

      B) Perhaps I was typing it rather fast, and did not bother to proof, seeing as this is slashdot, and not an important piece of work

      C) Perhaps I simply don't care as the post was for amusement

      D) Perhaps you are just an anal S.O.B, who needs to find something better to do with his or her life, such as pull your head out of your anus, and go on and do important things with your life.

    Also, not like your country doesn't believe in first strikes, don't you live in that insane country with a $.25 tax on CD-Rs because they "could" be used for music piracy?
