I don't bother with slashdot anymore I'm afraid, in my opinion it has come to
exemplify most of what is wrong with our community. This is unfortunate, but it does
seem to be inhabited by the kinds of individual who is all to happy to rant on without
being able to support their argument, or even present it in a coherent manner. It's
also true that the posters appear from their comments to be fairly bigoted by the
