At first glance, this appears to be an un-moderated usenet
newsgroup to which anyone or anything can post whatever wisdom or
insanity that happens to feel right at the time.
But a deeper truth, one that certain Powers try to keep well
hidden, is that there is a secret council of the Elders Of Socmen that
works behind the scenes to control what is published here. They are
also the reason my girlfreind left me and the squirrels keep eating too
many of my pecans... but I digress.

and fire your .22 rifle at clumps of trash that floated by? If so, you
probably belong here. Afterall, the scoring system is the same.
