If sci.* is more serious than rec.*, then using "twit" is even less
appropriate.

I wasn't offended. Just trying to help. Sorry if any of it was
misunderstood. Peace.

Now I understand your "appearance" of being too sensitive. This
thread is your only example of s.s.s. since at least 2/1/03. Ed, you
have no idea what this group has been through since the loss of
Columbia. Kooks, nuts, loons, and conspiracists galore have trashed
this group and the regulars are pretty ****ed.

Think of it as like what happened to news.groups when the RFD for
RSAM came about. Same thing only worse. ;-)

I don't know but I can imagine.

Heh. Difference of course is that groupers in news.groups are more
accustomed to such things.

Glad we're on the same page.
