Years? What years? Shouldn't you be asking how many centuries or how
many millennia?



Or how many trillionelliums g, or epochs, or aeons.

Yep, AIOE. That's why I have a filter that tags via colorization the
posts that get injected from there. /*UN*/registered free Usenet
providers seem to draw more of those type of users.

Until a global killer meteor hits Earth.

You'll NEVER catch up at that snail's pace. And just WHERE are you
going to store all those downloads?

Feeling bored today? All that green grass out on the web to consume
your time but you come here to dump a runny turd on this lawn.

It wouldn't take long at all. The internet is really quite physically

small - that's one of the surprising things about it:
