And you know what ?   It's refreshing to see that somebody got it all
figured out about this group.  I agree with him 150%, and I am also
curious how many others out there think the same way.  Send me an "I
agree" or "I disagree" answer and let's find out how many of you believe
that the discussion in this group is bordering boredom and the
absurd.  By the way, I quoted only one small part of the article,
but you may want to read the whole thing, it's worth it.
