Slashdot used to be pretty good. Once they sold the site it started to slide. I don't think its a fault of the authors, but the readership hit a sort of critical mass, where most of them are quite immanture. It's my homepage, and I quite enjoy the stuff they post about lego, it does happen fairly often. Amy did post on that /. thread. It did not appear that she took any offence. - Chris -- Chris Murray /"\ [EMAIL PROTECTED] \ / ASCII RIBBON CAMPAIGN http://apeman.org/ X AGAINST HTML MAIL Cell: 604.861.8307 / \/ - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
