Thanks Verno. Seems like Newsgroups may not be the place for me.

I was hoping they would be a place where people could debate issues, 
share news, ask questions. Instead I get the impression that it is more 
like a  place for those nutty street corner preacher types and "the end 
is coming" folks (not to mention angry teenagers). Too bad.
