An extended discussion yes, a flame war no. It would have had to have gotten a lot nastier to have been a flame war. People are so quick to put the "flame" label on anything even slightly over the bar of everyday "conversation." I suppose that's what comes from having articles about flames in magazines like Time and The New Yorker -- everyone who has ever read about a flame or a flame war wants to see one. If you want to see real flames, read alt.flame! The voting period ended yesterday, and soon we'll know the results, and no matter what the outcome is I'm done with it. If it lost, c'est la vie; someone else go do battle with Usenet, David Lawrence, and the Group Advice Guru gaggle in six months time. -- Kaleb KEITHLEY
