Well that's just swell. > Given the history of India, I'd think you might feel a little more > circumspect making disdainful statements about insular subcultures. Not sure what the first part of this means, but what came across as disdain was more of a humourous observation about my expectations of the xkcd subculture being wrong. I mean, I *would* have expected at least a little bit more slovenliness. And I would have expected the geek-(and-non-geek) xkcd-reading subculture around San Francisco to be slightly more varied. > Do you just not like white people & those who eat mayonnaise sandwiches > with them? What's the real problem here? The real problem, as always, is within. Or without? Or stuck in the middle with clowns to the left and jokers to the right? And just to be clear, I have no problem with mayonnaise sandwiches, as long as its eggless mayonnaise that's used. And usually not with people who eat them, unless they're kleptocratic dictators.
