Internet is a proper noun and must be capitalized. It's the Internet, not an internet when talking about the Internet.

Re:Another oversensitive geek

[HarveyBirdman]

I don't think I'm being oversensitive. I also favor Tivo over a roll your own PC solution and I don't get a boner over Kevin Mitnick, so I'm not sure I'm really a geek.

I know assholes have been around since Ogg intentionally tripped Oog during the mastadon hunt, but I think it's difficult to argue that the level of public decorum hasn't fallen like a rock in the past 20 years or so.

As for paranoia, that never changes. From terrorists back to Communists back to "the negras" to "she's a witch" to, I dunno, huns or something. Although with terrorists and Commies there was SOME reality to the threat, even if it isn't always where we are looking.

Same with the negras. HEY, I'M JOKING!! IT'S A JOKE! CALM DOWN!
