Message-ID: <531@cbosgd.UUCP> Date: Fri, 30-Nov-84 14:28:03 EST Article-I.D.: cbosgd.531 Posted: Fri Nov 30 14:28:03 1984 Date-Received: Sat, 1-Dec-84 20:00:20 EST References: <146@ttidcc.UUCP> <328@ut-sally.UUCP> Organization: Bell Labs, Columbus Lines: 14 I thought the whole point of mensa was so that these people could get together and discuss highbrow sorts of things without being bothered by the illiterate masses. It's a group of similar people who like to be around their own kind. As such, it seems to me that if a net.mensa were created, it would be subject to the same kinds of heckling that have been occurring in net.motss, net.religion, net.women, and so on. (Mensa isn't real popular with the vocal people on the net, it would seem.) Do the mensa members really want to discuss things in public while being heckled? I would guess not. No, I do not belong to mensa. I've been invited but wasn't even interested enough to take the test. Yes, I'm sure I'd pass. Mark Horton
