As a matter of fact I see a fair bit of that on this list as well, by the
same group of regulars: stereotypical judgement and blaming of OUTSIDERS,
i.e. ignorant 'lusers' who don't know or care how their computers
work, the
intricacies of TCP/IP or their operating system, who top post, use M$
software, etc. etc., and are perhaps busy running businesses, performing
brain operations, whatever, instead...
