Bottom line: This is a forum for highly literate people -- which is
extraordinarily rare.


I'm as cynical as the next guy (*cynic: n: an optomist who has met reality
unexpectedly") but that's over the top. This is most definately not a forum
for "highly literate" people. IT requires the ability to misspell,
misattribute, misunderstand, misbehave, and utterly mangle the English
language. It's filled with a bunch of maroons (and for the OS-challenged,
macaroons), and utter imbiciles who are totally incapable of appreciating the
pearls of wisdom dropping from our ruby red lips.

Anybody who can pound on a keyboard (vertantly, or inad) can do the Usenet
thing.

But it does require interest, and maybe they are just not interested. It's
like hangar flying. Nice, but I'd rather do the real thing. I won't buy
inability as the reason people don't come here.

Disinterest for many reasons, yes. But not inability. If you can read a
sectional or program a GPS, you have the smarts. (and if you can do both,
you're a dying breed g(
