Oh look - what a surprise. Everyone else is a clueless moron who ought be
fired for their incompetence. Nobody is capable of doing anything right,
understanding the technology, they cannot grasp the issues or otherwise
understand the "big picture." Except for you, Roy Schestowitz and some
kooks named "flyer" and "7" of course.
You boys are the only ones who are intelligent enough to really know what's
going on. Everyone else in the world is simply wrong and clueless. That's
why they are running multi-national corporations and government computing
agencies and you guys are posting to some worthless newsgroup around the
clock with your incredible insight.
That pretty much sums up your position does it not?
