No... seems that we gotta have to blame MicroSoft's Visual C - it really _CAN_
make you mad...

If you're wondering, what he did was writing a mixture of C code and random
noise; seems like he wanted to say that it sounds as if it was made in C... and
crashed... HARD! :)

And yes, AOL does suck, but it can still send mails... being a assimilated
Netscape browser... =P

And yes, it seems like his post was a GPF --- General Purpose Fault...

Or maybe he had had an urge to post a reply to this post:
