Post away, nobody has to read it if they don't want...
Whatever "Dropsy the crackers with snide" may mean it's no sort of "British
Slang" that I've ever heard - any of the other Limeys on the list recognize
it?

Subject: [OM] is a long post okay?; snide crackers
I'd like to post the letter I sent to Olympus tearing apart the E-500 and
FL-36 documentation. But it's long, running to six printed pages. Should I
send it two pages at a time -- or not send it at all?
"Dropsy the crackers with snide" means (in British slang) "pay the policeman
a bribe in counterfeit money". I know this because I read MAD magazine as a
child. It showed up in an article about foreign films.
