AIUI, “Get a life” means that the person so addressed should not make a fuss
about insignificant things. Like posting a 16-line rant (provided that it
would be properly line-broken according to Usenet convention, which it was
not) as response to a one-line statement that was even prepended with “BTW
and JFTR” (“by the way and just for the record”) to indicate its
insignificance to its author.
If it were your life to make a fuss about such things in this way, you would
have my sympathy, but I would have to reconsider whether your postings are
worth reading anymore.
HTH (hope that helps)
