   Standing in the dark, rainy shadows of a city alleyway, I spied the   
   Replicant POD  {Ò¿Ó} covertly transmitting a message to renegade   
   friends in alt.fan.blade-runner.  Tracking...

   No.  I absolutely categorically disagree.  As part of what I do on a   
   daily basis I do have to read all sorts of utter crap.  But everyone   
   has a right to write that crap.  And who has the right to be   
   interested in that crap?  Absolutely Everyone!  Even I ... yes the   
   Netrunner himself, tries to scribble some bullshit every day that some   
   people might find amusing, I always tried to make it slightly amusing   
   even when it was still the precursor to the "weblog", but fact is I   
   only do it for those people who actually want to read it. Just like   
   anybody else who writes - they're only doing it for the people   
   interested in reading it/   
      
   Bandwidth is only wasted by the receiver NOT the transmitter.
