(...) Oh, Sorry, those were just stereotypical examples. I don't hate Pepsi or think it sucks, and I don't think Macs suck (even though I mostly hate them), and I haven't watched B5 enough ever to draw any conclusion one way or the other. --Todd (25 years ago, 10-Nov-99, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
