    I, too, have recently gotten my first Slashdot "Freak". We should totally form a 1-freak club. Admittedly, that might draw attention, and in doing so the likelihood that others will become objectionable and register their distaste will increase, so I suppose it should be a "1+ freak club" or something . . . yada yada. Actually, I think I'm going to go and write my first ever slashdot journal about this.
