Yeah, too true blue, I've only been here a short time but I see that the
'mandarins' must hang around their computers waiting for any casual aside or
slightly ambiguous comment so that they can pounce to demonstrate their utter
technical superiority. I see all the 'usual' tricks..selective post editing/I'll
avoid the hard or challenging bit...straw men...deliberate misinterpretation to
bolster their 'case'...deliberate ambiguation....reversion to insults/snide
insinuation...assumptions that they *know* are unchallengeable...etc. Still
seems to be an amusing little froup and some of the peeps obviously do know
their onions.
