Usenet speak, the "conceivably possible" window is a huge, gaping
hole. Any post can explode into a massive flame war, almost always

been burned enough times by regional differences that I usually choose
not to challenge the use of abnormal. That Jam Lady, especially, can
come up with some doosies, her living in Fargo and all.
