No, but I am not sure. I would not suppose so though. I would expect this
newsgroup to be overwhelmed with engineers, researchers, and other enlightened
folk.
The conversations in this newsgroup are intelligent and civil, unlike RTL. I
really should not pick on RTL, the Lego community as a whole expects more than
childish flames and baiting. I have been in newsgroups much worse.
I like it here because of conversations like this and the fact people can argue
and maintain courtesy and restrait. Respect is the word I am looking for.
I'm rambling,
Midnights and overtime do not mix.

See you over the event horizon,

P.S. Beware of naked singularities.
