I hate you with all my might, /prog/.

I thought I had finally gotten away from you, from the forced idiocy, all of these faggots ruining my board, this permanent September, I thought I had finally kicked it. Everything in my life has been better since I left you, /prog/.

I've been more social, I got into college, a CS degree, a job at the University in the CS research department with opportunities to take me all the way out to a Ph.D.

As I'm just now starting up work at the laboratory, and going to the orientations for the college, I'm staying at my grandmother's house. Now, she is oh god how did i get here computer etc. for the most part, but she can handle email and mailing lists pretty well. She was one of the founders of a list about a spiritual group [spoilers]for old people[/spoilers].

I knew she said she'd been having trouble with the internet, but when I got here, she confessed it was actually with some people on the mailing list.

"There have been some people emailing on there that are really opinionated... really heated, angry discussion, personal insults and threats, and just generally unruly behavior! I just didn't know how to respond to this--I mean, all of it was totally against all of the teachings! I simply replied, 'Read Seth', as if they had been, I'm sure that they would realize that Seth(the main character of this 'religion' type thing) wouldn't approve of this!"

"But when they wrote back they used some acronyms, and I'm sure you know what this is VIPPER, you're so good with computers. I mean I know what LOL and ROFL and some things mean, but I just couldn't find these anywhere in my internet help books!"

She handed me a small post-it note, on which was written, in my grandmother's neat script handwriting:

YHBT YHL HAND

Fuck you /prog/. Leave my grandmother out of this.

Dude, /prog/ didn't invent those acronyms.
