That was NOT the point. The original message was "What is Goa?"; the
original response was "Bullshit". This is not, by any stretch of the
imagination, informative (unless the original poster REALLY wanted to just
hear that someone thought it sucked). I was just pointing out that this
response was useless, but I see there's no point as everyone else thinks
Goa sucks, too... so much for doing my part to increase the S/N ratio, I
guess.
