Poster criticizes fans for being too obsessed with Seinfeld, suggesting they should get a life, while replies defend fan interest and debate whether caring about show details is worthwhile.
I think it's becoming clear that too many people are becoming tragically fanatical about Seinfeld. I can envision a small hotel in downtown St. Louis 10 years from now, there will be 50 of you lunatics lined up to get to meet Newman. You'll ask scintillating questions like,"What is Jerry like to work with, did he really hate you?"
Take it from NY'ers. We watch, we laugh, we get on with our lives.
Time for YOU to get a life, bud! Maybe I DO care what cereal Jerry eats. Maybe I DO wonder if Kramer's last name IS "vs. Kramer". Leave us Vandelays alone!
If you care, fine. But I feel sorry for you.
IT'S ONLY A TV SHOW!!!!!
It's not as if there is anything important going on (Somali, the Slavs, the Kurds, etc.) in the world. I'm sure the fact that Jerry prefers Apple Jacks over Wheaties does provide a base for stimulating conversation.

What exactly is the importance of these matters? My life is affected more by the cereal box I see on my TV set than by millions of starving people I never see...Why should it be otherwise? It is not as if I can do a thing about either, so why not think of the more pleasant? Before you flame, I would like to ask you what you do about the human suffering in foreign countries. Do you discuss it over the dinner table? How sophisticated!
Mr. Bill!! You just got a call from alt.fan.rush.limbaugh; they miss you...we won't.

Sorry, have to respond...we out here look at New Yorkers like you, laugh, and wonder why there are so many stereotyoes about New yorkers...not that I am knocking the human New Yorkers, you know, and bless New York for having the David Letterman show, and bless New York for having people like you set me straight, how can I ever repay you? If you can't already tell, flamers are gay, and I can;t believe I lowered myself to answer one, but hey, it's been a long day.

P.s. Bill, any relation to Danny Noonan? NOO-NAN!! (may take a while for this one to sink in...but then laugh, and get on with your life).
Looks to me like someone left his terminal without logging out again...
Well I certainly feel like shit now! Not being born into the sainthood of "NY" has me looking for a dull knife to hack my wrists in two.
Please have patience with us, Mr. Bill. After all we Non-NY'ers are still struggling in the primordia of our existence.
