Andy Tannenbaum comments on the fact that WBAI, once an important
medium is the discussion of current issues has ended up being 
rarely anything but a podium for political flaming.
	It seems as if it is often the case that a tool set up
by idealist types, and somehow it ends up as a podium for
people with an ax to grind.  Is there some correlation with
USENET?  Can other people think of additional examples, or
share thoughts on this subject?
