The skinheads that have invaded our beloved USENET <triangle.general>
newsgroup aren't "we."  It's awful.  The white supremacists are flocking to
this medium with web sites and constant propaganda.  I havn't read mention
of Henry Ford as one of their gods, though.  Try not to let them find out,
or it will be another 30,000 megabytes of posts on how right he was.

>List" on television is only the most recent example of this.

Oh...well, that explains it.  They feel abandoned.
