	This seems to happen regularly.  There was one rabbit!jj (I
	think?) a couple of years ago who stirred up quite a rucus.  And
	now Alex and Scott.  Some people are just that way ... luckily
	the're pretty easy to ignore, once you know who they are.

	I must admit, though, that it does make for more interesting
	reading than the drivel that goes on in net.politics or religion
	(to an apolitical agnostic, anyway).  Still, it's kind of a
	shame that this newsgroup has so little apparent worth to the
	casual observer.  What the SA's need to realize, though, is that
	the need to flame (or freedom to flame) in one's own way may do
	some good.  I am sure Scott and Alex feel some sort of sick
	gratification after a good flame ... and who knows, perhaps this
	keeps them from doing other things they might otherwise feel
	compelled to do, like say spread peanut butter on disk drives or
	abuse their fellow users (perhaps I assume too much here).

	Well, I see my time in net.flame is over; I have only been given
	an hour to read and write.  Perhaps I have learned something
	here, and have not yet come to realize it.  Then again, perhaps
	not.  It can be a fun place to visit, but I'm glad I don't come
	here often.  Until next time, remain in the light ...
