I expected to see some intelligent discusion on the recent forest fires in the Pacific Northwest, discussion on the rash of airplane fires, or at least something about Mrs. O'Leary's cow. But what before my wondering eyes should I see -- talk about small cars, drunk driving and gay pride week. Give me a break. How do lyou get that sort of stuff in this newsgroup, net.flame. Should not car stuff be in net.auto and gay stuff in net.whatever, somebody told me net.lisp? I have never seen more people make fools of themselves. Frank BURNS houxm!3363ewf
