There's a mailing at work called for-sale, where people put stuff they … wait for it… want to put up for sale. There's also a mailing list called chat, where people just rant and post jokes.
There's one bloke who is a closet anarchist and loves to poke people to provoke a reaction. Generally, people fall for it and it can get quite amusing on the lists. People lose their mind and start yelling at each other on for-sale, until somebody loses patience and tells everybody to move to a different list :)
Here's the breakdown of today's messages:
