    I stick around, read, and post, for the same reasons I do in any other joke
    newsgroup - because it is so much fun. I love watching the endless stream
    of well-meaning newbies come in and get clobbered by the locals. It's
    like clubbing seals, but I have to admit, it amuses me.

    The locals also amuse me - I mean, talk about people who must be
    independentaly wealthy (to waste so much time engaging in the activities
    noted above)...
