I think you're point wasn't to belittle people with learning disabilities (& I think there's probably a debate to be had about the patronising way society can treat them) but there's also a wittier & less objectionable way of saying what you said. (& perhaps a more reasoned way of saying what I said :~) cheers MikeMcG

Low activity, Why?
Why? Because newbies who use to come on and ask a naive question or said
something like "I still like a cold Budweiser on a hot day" were hounded and brow-beated right out of the group by the geeks. Even beer drinkers who had a bit of knowledge of beer were forced to explain how they could like brand x when "everybody knows that that beer's shite!" Who needs the abuse? I see that some of the biggest hyper-critics seldom or never post anymore either. Probably ran out of targets of opportunity.

You're wrong. The reason has much more to do with the growth of new online social interaction paradigms. Then again the cynical could point to your negative, brow-beating article as self-referential backing for your postulate. -- Joel Plutchak "They're not people, they're HIPPIES!" $LASTNAME at VERYWARMmail.com - Eric Cartman

Your post only solidifies my argument.

Come October it'll get nice and busy and we can all sit back with our Jack's Pumpkin ale. Ben
