UNIVERSAL FLAME FORM (UFF)

If you are part of any public lists - which are public discussion
groups - you are all too aware of the craziness of being part of such a group:

threads (Continuing Discussions) which last a lifetime, insanely
boorish comments and the all too common trite replies "I agree".

Well, there is now a standard reply form for FLAMING (listed under the
government e-mail paperwork reduction act). For those unfamiliar with
the term, flaming is the immediate and often irrational response to emails
that annoy you. They can be sent to individuals, or to public lists - where
people mouth off their opinions.

PS. If you are new to the web, read carefully to avoid being flamed
yourself.
