As a new netnews user, it really amazes me on the mentality of those who
are on it.  Specifically, I replied to an offensive and racist joke in
net.joke instead of net.joke.d and the only reaction from the people on
the net was that I replied in the wrong category!!!!   Who cares if
racism is propagated throughout the net!?!  If this is typical of those
who use the net then I really wonder about the demographics of the net
users and the usefulness of any INTELLECTUAL interchange on it.
So much for ranting...
