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)
