[plug] What do you school-age members think of SlashDot'sHellMouth articles?

Christian,

I'm not sure whether to cry or challenge you over your ignorance about 
societies outside the comfortable AUSTRALIAN society you continue to make 
your remarks from. As one of those who have fired a firearm as part of the 
AUSTRALIAN society of the time I am becoming increasingly intolerant of the 
political cant of some of the members of our society who fail to do even 
basic research into the situations they make comments on.

Brian C.

P.S. I was going  to make a remark about the level of expertise you show in 
some of your technical comments but I'll leave that alone apart from a 
comment about engaging brain before fingers!

PS2 This is so far of topic my only post on it.
