4/2     Once again, any ideas where I can find 'Big C' as a Nokia ringtone?
        And yes, I live in a country where people mute their phones in
        public and in restaurants and don't pick them up in movie
        theaters and I know-to-behave-thank-you-I-just-want-a-ringtone
        because more people have nicer better newer phones here with the
        same rings and I don't feel like fumbling for mine every time
        someone else's goes off.  Thanks.  -John
        \_ If everyone mutes their phones in public where you live, how
           is telling your phone apart a problem?  And how is putting your
           phone on vibrate, like a decent human being, not a better
           solution to this?
           \_ "public" = restaurants and theaters and things.  Don't be a
               pedant.  And putting your phone on vibrate when it's lying
               halfway across a large test lab is not an option.  Why am
               I arguing with you anyway?  You're being a baboon.  All I
               asked for was a ringtone.  -John
               \_ ...which not one seems to have.  So we're bored at work
                  with nothing to do but make fun of you pointlessly.
                  There are worse things we could be doing. Come on, argue!
                  \_ No no no you're a baboon and I have no morals.  And
                     don't be bored, go look for a ringtone for me.  -John
                     \_ Just be glad I'm not hurling dung at you, as is
                        my instinct.
                \_ I respond well to being called a baboon, please
                   hold your breath while I attempt to help you out.
                   \_ He wasn't calling you a baboon, he was calling me
                      a baboon.  I'm going to start hurling dung at you, too.
        \_ This is morally inexcusable John.  The motd is ashamed of you.
           \_ I have no morals.  Yuck foo.  I just want my ringtone.  -John
        \_ How to installing new for pine ring tone?
           \_ 1: Making fun of people's English grammar errors is pretty
                 pathetic, since they probably speak your language much better
                 than you speak theirs.
              2: The common error is just "how to" instead of "how do I".
                 That is the way questions are formed in many languages.
                 You're just showing how ignorant you are.   -tom
                \_ Wow, for once I really disagree with tom. -tom#1fan
                \_ Actually, I've ceased believing that there are any actual
                   non-native speakers on soda.  The questions are always so
                   over the top that it's gotta be a native.
