Well, that's just it--
YOU'RE not responding, and, except for the odd drive-through, I'M not
responding...
The problem is, we're still at an undeveloped stage, and (aside from the
imported flame-group party-boys, who also seem to have gotten bored by
now) we've got people who respond to *ask* why Prong's posts all sound
alike.
We figure, it's like any other disease: The best prevention is Public
Education. That, and getting the vaccinations out to the inoculated,
improving health, topic and living conditions for inexperienced posters,
getting them to recognize the warning signs and the symptoms, and who
knows in how short a time we can contain the spread.
