	Yup, every 6 months on the dot.  It always starts with somebody 
making a totally stupid remark about the 'other' machine.  It ends with
five thousand people cross posting flames over three newsgroups.  

	I have no qualms boasting about MY favorite machine, but I do it
over the newsgroup for that machine.  This isn't to say one shouldn't 
correct misinformed articles on the 'other' newsgroup, but simply refraining
on the embelishments a bit more would help a great deal.  It gets old
real fast.

	If you *must* correct somebody with a major flame, use private mail.
