The fact that you greatly misunderstand the purpose simply indicates that you have not been surgically modified. Similarly, nothing posted to talk.bizarre is truly bizarre unless the poster has had the proper braingrips applied by a fully bonded member of the Instrumentality of Mankind. Whereas, on a.r.k, you just have to maintain a minimum ratio of funny posts -------------------------------------------------------------- gloats about sex + whines about no sex + 5 * (political rants) As long as this ratio exceeds approximately 2.7182818284, you can avoid censure, unless you are Matt McIrvin and Kibo holds you to a higher standard as an example to all of the other children in the cafeteria, in which case the minimum is approximately 10 and is well-nigh impossible to achieve unless you are Ian York, which is unfortunate because Matt McIrvin is not Ian York. This has replaced upload/download ratios as the true measure of worth in our civilized push-button high-bandwidth society of the future. -- My home page: http://world.std.com/~mmcirvin/ Sci.physics FAQ: http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/faq.html
