Bart writes "The BBC reports One of the world's first research centres dedicated to studying the social, political and economic effects of the net has opened in Oxford" I've offered to trade CowboyNeal to them as a research subject for a case of beer. I think studying the effects of the internet on him will save lives. See? Someone is thinking of the children.

More stupid articles beginning with 'scientists discovered...'. More CowboyNeal jokes. Great.

  No, but, you see, the scientists haven't discovered anything yet, so it's okay.

  No, it shouldn't. The world can do without another Jon Katz article, don't encourage him.

Not verbose enough to be a Katz story. by Anonymous Coward · 2002-10-01 00:25 · Score: -1, Offtopic

Trust me, if Katz was the writer he would have gone on and on and on and probably mentioned his Commodore64-hacking buddy in Afghanistan. He probably would have plugged his Hellmouth articles too.

  Katz would eventually conclude that Junis invented the internet.

Communistic Censorship by Petrus · 2002-10-01 03:13 · Score: 0, Offtopic

There is no surprise that one sees one of the most violent "revolutions", quotes from a communitst and censorsip ideas like those implementet in the mentioned communistic country all grouped together.

I have long observed people with communist thoughts (so called commnists) having taken over the BBC. You can tell by statement like these and by nearly fanatic hatered of christian religion.
(For instance, saying "A.D." in a date is against BBC guidelines and is censored out :-)))

Watch guys! Your Big Friends are out to get you.
Censorship is not coming. It is already here on the BBC!
