Just what do you hope to gain by these little attacks on the fans of the best teams in the NBA?? Are you trying to show your team's superiority this way? (Whatever your team is, I feel sorry for them, having to have you as a "fan".) If you want to rag on the cities of Detroit and L.A. in general, I have no immediate objections. I am from the Detroit area, and the city itself is the pits. And I am sure Ed will admit that there are areas of L.A. that are not so nice either. But the fact is, when you attack the fans of a sports franchise, you attack them all PERSONALLY. This is especially true when you limit the group to the tiny minority that have net access. And since the net is primarily linked to colleges and other science-based groups, you are most probably attacking some of the smartest people in the country. We aren't all MENSA members, true, but we know an insult when we read one. ------- I apologize to all the netters for taking this subject more seriously than it probably should have been. Long overdue: Followups to alt.flame. Kevin Podsiadlik g3q@mentor.cc.purdue.edu Go Pistons! Proposed date of .sig completion: Feb. 1990.
