"for the people by the people" does NOT necessarily mean "you suck, no
you suck, not you suck more" and I think that LugNET news server
points this out quite clearly. Mr. Lehman is quite open to comments
from everyone -- and he even listens and takes them into account!
To the point where I feel LugNET IS a for,to,by sorta deal.
However, when you get the other half of this is when immature people
come along and realize that they can take advantage of the system. I
STILL like Usenet's freewheeling nature. It was much better before
people started taking advantage of it.
These kinds of systems, though, always depend upon the good nature of
the participants -- people wanting to follow the rules, treat each
other with respect, etc.
