   Well, the 'woke' really did try to show us the
   power of higher, gigabuck-funded, hate  :-)

   But that's all over for now.

   In any case, I prefer to see these comp groups
   as being much better when they are collaborative,
   rather than derogative. Be you old boy or newbie,
   everybody has a different 'vision', a slightly
   different take on 'how it should be done'. Adding
   1000 cuts and ad-homs - all too common on usenet -
   does not represent any kind of improvement.

   Just wanted to say it.
