- Good point.

- And speaking of which, without Scott Tai, or any of his/her/neuter aliases and
- identities, the traffic in this group would fall off tremendously. I
- have been following r.o.m since day 1. And according to my calculations,
- flamatory postings cross-referenced to message id's containing, Tai, NCSU,
- and other aliases associated to Tai versus non-flamatory posts is tremendous.
- That doesn't even begin to factor in all legimate gripes ands flames from
- actual existing netters. Not all of the flames on this group were started
- completely by the Tai-Juggernaut. In fact, I am going to research all the
- available posts and come up with ratios and results comparing flamage to
- actual Mensa group information just to see what the results would be. I will
- post my findings later on in the week. Until then...
