When I first discovered this news group, several months ago,
I posted a question about a movie that had long since passed-on
to TV.  This net was plagued at that time with "I saw Dan Akroyd
in 'The Temple of Doom'!" postings.  I left in disgust and returned
about a month ago.  It was like a new place!  There were discussions
about foreign films, film classics, little trivia contests and real
reviews.  It was wonderful!

WAS

But now we have "Return of the I saw Dan Akroyd!" playing here at the
Bijou.  This *GARBAGE* about "2010" and "Dune" light switches, cloud
cover, Pan Am posters and the like is ruining this net!  I like SF
just as well as the next person.  But I like it because it's SF, NOT
because I can show the whole world how smart I am because I caught a
foul-up in a movie.  I realize that my age is probably higher than
that of the average user of this net.  But are there that many machines
out there that are only being accessed by students?  I would hope that
this "Me Too, Me Too!" mentality that is being displayed in these postings
does not belong to people who actually have positions that influence
a product or service.

So, to put it simply, MOVE THIS JUNK TO NET.FOLLOWUP.  Thank you. (hiss...)
