. . . as opposed to ringing loud and clear, each day, with what Weaver calls
attention to: the pseudo-intellectual litshit some of you people fling.  Weaver
says what a lot of other people feel:  this list is fulfilling for the three or
four people who masterbatorially post for each other --- lurkers who
occasionally post are either totally ignored or bludgeoned back to the shadows
by the self-proclaimed elite.  Sure, you can say: "Well, why not post something
and make this list worthwhile to you."  It goes beyond that.  "The few" make
this list a w.a.s.t.e. of fucking time for "the rest" by manipulating
discussions (through a wide variety of rhetorical methods).  Weaver is *saying*
something important when he says the fun is gone from this list.  Maybe someone
should listen.
