I've written, webbed and retired this one several times over the last nine years. It's a little different each time, because there's just so much that's ripe for the skewering on Usenet. Some of the things I remember having in this, that don't appear in this particular version are: Spill-cheeks lakking, whiners whining, gripers griping, moaners moaning, needers leeching, groupies laying, cyber layings, spouses cheating, peddies prowling, ferile children.... So, if your favorite (or former favorite) newsgroup isn't infested with one of the following vermin, just substitute something else that plagues it. For those who may be unfamiliar with "Sybil" -- she was a woman with split personalities and the line references those individuals who post to a group under several different nicks and then argue those nicks against one another in an attempt to draw the regulars into the staged battle and disrupt the group.
On my 12th trip to Usenet, new posts awaited me
12 Spammers spamming
11 Posers posing
10 Lamers laming
9 Losers bragging
8 Sybils quibbling
7 Trolls a trolling
6 Flamers flaming
5 "Stop it!" pleas
4 Calling names
3 Death threats
2 Exit huffs
And a topical post of all things!

Ditto on Diva, Mr. X, and Johnny D's comments. This was a good one.
Thanks Ruth!
Ditto on ruth46's comment, and everyone else's. Loved it.
Thanks sk12er boi!
...and they said photocopiers would replace ditto machines! I guess they underestimated the power of "inktoxication." ;)

Thanks for not doing ALL the verses (When I read books to my daughters the redundancy can drive me nuts)
Thanks Claude, you're welcome. I figure the whole song is in the last verse, anyway. That kind of children's book drives me nuts, too. They always have. I remember being around 3 yrs old and asking my mom to skip to the last because the whole book was going to be on the last page, anyway.
Good job, melhi. I really liked it.
Ditto on Reptone's comment. :)
Thanks Reptone and Joe!
555 golden rings. Of course, none of your insights apply to any recent occurrences at amiright...
Thanks Spaff! No, this was all Usenet inspired.
Nice job.
Ditto on sk12er boi's ditto on ruth46's ditto on the triple-dittoing series of Johnny D, Mr X and Diva. (You could do a '12 dittos Christmas' soon!)
Thanks Max and Luke! Luke: Now that you mention it, dittos would be a good jab at the original. :D

Ditto on JAR(LB)'s multi-dittoing series of sk12er boi, ruth46, et al....AND ditto on Joe's ditto on Reptone's comment. (I guess Reptone and Joe started their own series of ditto's.)
Ditto the thanks I gave the others to you, Blue Ant! :)
