You're right, cle.general is better for having NO activity other than
crossposts about farm policy and AIDS.  I figured to lighten things up
by starting a tongue-in-cheek pointless flame war.  Something where
folks could engage in harmless sparring just for fun.  This SHOULD
have been obvious to even six-year-olds.

"My exchange could beat up yours any day."  Even with that, you still
couldn't see how the absurdity was completely intentional.  Sigh.

<shakes head sadly>  Of COURSE it makes absolutely no difference
what exchange you're calling from.  I was trying to come up with a
flame war topic so completely meaningless, NO ONE could fail to
see its tongue-in-cheek nature.  

I should have known better.

You are right about this, however.
