Everyone's got to start somewhere. Each new group of Net users has been greeted with the same comments (Demon, AOL...) People tend to wise up or get tired of their new abused toy.
I think the more people on the Net the better, and the more variety of people the better yet. Not everything of worth comes from those the same as us (from the point of view of the original US Netties, who would have expected Linux to come from outside the US?)
Ethnocentric or maybe even racist, perhaps; missing what I consider to be a big point of the Net, certainly.
