1. Please post it in a binaries group and let me know where you posted it and I will go
get it there.
2. I will buy it if it rocks !!
3. I am saving up now. It's 29.95 you know it's not free.
4. I give things to others for free because it's enjoyable to help others who don't have everything.

I guess it would be too much to ask you to go to the library and copy the books for me and then scan
them into your computer and make PDF files and post those files here. I would ask but you seem to
get mad at my requests.

There are no binary files to be posted to this group - how many times do we have to say it?

Shaun aRe - This is a plain text only news group.

Sorry if I offended you in some way with my requests. At this point I take it I am dealing with a
much older crowd like my parents.

I respect that, so please post the CD to a binary group and let me know which one, in this forum.
Thanks for posting the CD Shaun.

In that case, maybe you should ask your folks for a raise in your allowance, or clean out the garage
for some extra cash. Or mow the lawn, or flip some burgers...

Frankly, some of the stuff mentioned here and that you are asking for is easy to find on google..
you DO know how to get there?

I don't have binary group access I'm afraid. I tried sending it via e-mail but your domain doesn't
exist apparently.

It's a CD about repairing your bike. How could it not rock?

There are lots of places you can make that in an hour. Just ask your mother.

So where's our free stuff then, huh? Where are the dancing girls and the beer?

Now, see, you had a good troll going -- getting quite a few of us to bite on your little demands --
but then you went way over the top and gave it away.

Beer is tough to get for me let alone send across the internet, but if you don't know where to find
dancing girls on the internet then I don't know what to do for you. My parents tried blocking porn
too, but there are ways around the filtering, it's called "find the password"..... your parents may
have done this to your computer, they usually use something they can remember like your name or
pets name...
