According to frk@mtxinu.UUCP (Frank Korzeniewski): >I prefer to look at sci.aquaria as empowering the users. I consider this >good, as there are more users than siteadmins. "Empowering the users"? It is to laugh. Users have no power, and they never did. The administrators have pull, the owners have power, and the users have *nothing* that the owners didn't give them. If you think the users have been "empowered," you're just fooling yourself. Users are at the mercy of owners, and they always will be. (Unless you outlaw ownership of property, of course.) -- Chip Salzenberg at ComDev/TCT <chip@tct.uucp>, <uunet!ateng!tct!chip> "The Usenet, in a very real sense, does not exist."
