i second this...this list has gone down in quality dramatically. perhaps 25%
of the content is actually relevent, the rest falls between just plain
ignorant and "let me out intellectualize you" type responses to posts that
were irrelevant in the first place, i know you know what i mean.
i don't acually get too much info on here, i just keep subscribed for the
occasional laugh, but it really shouldn't be like that.
flame away if you must, it'll at least prove these last two points.
