	Bruce Wright's comments on this matter are probably much closer
to the truth than many of us imagine.  You know, in many ways technical
people - espescially engineers and computer scientists - are natural
enemies of the social scientists and social theorists.  We, after all,
are in the business of harnessing nature to man's needs - they are
purely and simply in the business of harassing, annoying, and harnessing
their fellow man.
	The more we do and the more we succeed the more irrelevant the shrinks,
pinkos, and journalists are going to be.  Does it surprise you that they
invent garbage like "computer addiction" to discredit us?
