[Usenet] A notional repository of all the most dramatically and
abysmally stupid utterances ever. An entire subgenre of {sig block}s
consists of the header "From the fool file:" followed by some quote
the poster wishes to represent as an immortal gem of dimwittery; for
this usage to be really effective, the quote has to be so obviously
wrong as to be laughable. More than one Usenetter has achieved an
unwanted notoriety by being quoted in this way.
