It amazes me how much ignorance it takes to fill up a thread...

You've never listened to talk radio, have you?

Q.  Does Usenet help stamp out ignorance?
A.  That depends on whether by `stamp out' you mean `eliminate'
or `reproduce rapidly in great quantity.' - Dr. Roger M. Firestone

Usenet is like a herd of performing elephants with diarrhea;
massive, difficult to redirect, awe-inspiring, entertaining, and
a source of mind-boggling amounts of excrement when you least
expect it.                                         - Eugene Spafford

Ignorance is never out of style.  It was in fashion yesterday,
it is the rage today, and it will set the pace tomorrow.
                                     -- Franklin K. Dane

We are currently being told to follow our bliss.  However, tradition tells us that 
ignorance is bliss.  Taking these two statements together would explain a lot about 
modern society.

I appreciate the fact that this draft was done in haste, but
some of the sentences that you are sending out in the world to
do your work for you are loitering in taverns or asleep beside
the highway.
