It's more than that. Essentially starting with one person's spleen
venting over USENet voting rules, this has turned from a group where
collegial discussions of the political and technical challenges of
designing a cooperatively maintained calendar were conducted courteously
among people with strong opinions, to a hotbed of bickering. Sorry gang,
I haven't seen anything worth reading here in a month; it's the Big "u"
for comp.groupware. I'll check back in a few months and see if the
rowdies have moved on.

Kent, the man from xanth.
