RE: I do not have Super Cow Powers
Geek elitism _exists_solely_to_destroy_ Geek elitism We are obviously making geek elitism _so_ attractive that everyone wants to become one of the geek elite Which will make the term meaningless, and end geek elitism forever. Now, elitism based on something unchangeable and uncontrollable, (e.g. where the person was born, or to whom) is what has to go. Even a first year frobnitz can see this. -Original Message- From: Crispin Wellington [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 15, 2003 2:06 PM To: Debian Users Subject: Re: I do not have Super Cow Powers On Sat, 2003-01-11 at 12:34, Paul Johnson wrote: If none of this makes sense to you, you probably shouldn't be calling yourself a geek and should sell your computer and switch to WebTV or something a little less fun.
