    Long-term readers are well aware of the fact that posts attached to this handle fall very sharply into one of two camps. These are-

    1- Impassioned calls to reason and pragmatism with a solid core of humanist compassion.

    2- Obscene, frothing rants with copious references to genitalia in impenetrable English slang.

    I'm amazed nobody's worked it out yet.


    Most of your posts seem to be more like embittered cynicism than either of those.

      I was amazed the last time I checked, how many members bear the Austrian flag and actually NEVERposted! On page 2 of 6 the "0"-posters start!! But I don't think it's the fact that an elite is clinging to power that retains people, after all they don't go to the OT in first place! It's the course of nature.

          Since we've been bashing the OT elitists lately, perhaps we should ask ourselves if there'd be any activity at all down there without them.

            The person who should be the "six degree's of..." should be Fez/Giancarlo.

              Don't know him. I *do* know Ming and I *do* know MrWhereItsAt and I know both are active pretty much everywhere. Those guys work better.

                Problem is, they work to well. The only poster with more than ten posts who aren't one degree removed from Ming is Ming himself.

                        Can anybody explain to me what "one degree removed" and "six degree related" mean?

                            If A is somehow related to B who is somehow related to C, there is said to have a single degree of seperation between A and C. If C is somehow related to D then A and D have two degrees of seperation. Add in E, you have three degree, add F and you have four degrees etc.

                            The idea of six degrees is that you can link anyone to anyone (i.e all 6+ billion of us on the planet) with just six linkages.

                            Handshakes (or other physical contact) is the usual way of determing the validity of a linkage.

                              Dauphin's example is messed up: A is two degrees separated from C (there being one link A-B and one B-C), three from D, and so on.

                                Its based on links? I thought it was based on the number of in-between people.
