Will there ever be the day when this (and other groups) doesn't have
a 10%-30% weenie factor? I don't expect 0%, but maybe 5% spillage from
a comp.windows.ms.weenie group (due to the ever evil crossposts).

Not to make people think that weenies are purely technical phenomenon,
no they exist in politics, academics, amongst friends and family (e.g.
some weenie in politics recently complained that the NY State budget,
once again, wasn't passed on time -- it was 10-20 hours late this year
vs several months late the previous 5-8 years).

By posting this, of course, I am openning the weenie floodgates from
hell... :-<
