I missed the part that said it involved leftists, fats, or lesbians.

Yeah, let's ressurect a 30-year-old flame war!

The good old days were before that. Circa '92 was good. Reasonable etiquette, news groups for almost every interest you could care to name, decent people you could run into (a bunch of people I met on the 'net prior to '92 was the start of many trips over to the States, many of whom I'm still in touch with). After '92-93 was the Eternal September, and the net went to hell in a handbasket.

So far as I know, the problem has not yet been detected on other planets or spaceships.

I'm guessing that Martians don't run Windows on their computing machines.

I've always been a big fan of space exploration, but for a country that can't afford its lifestyle a moon base doesn't sound very important priority.

(Or maybe I should have said "isn't willing to pay for" its lifestyle.)

My cranky post was about a Samsung. I didn't mention the brand because I assumed their all that way.

I bought my first-ever "smart" TV this year, and the interface is horrible. The hardware is fine, but everything else is designed for people pushing stuff, rather than for a user.
