Geez Alan, you can't see that Spike meant "All humans who wish to be
uploaded did so voluntarily"  Perhaps you meekly remain as the sole
soul to inherit the earth.

And if you were truly sick all the way to the point of death then
there would be no further complaining.  :)

So I think if you are going to use language like "sick to death" then
you should grant others some latitude in word choice and treat the
group as a collection of (mostly) friendly people who are just hangin'
out and chatting.
