comments ? yeah, ranks as one of the largest
collection of assholes on the net.

(a). they have a 'shack' picture forum. evidently it's like AA.
     you can post a picture of a cardboard box with a tin can,
     and people will chime in and say 'yeah, great shack dude!'.
     (instead of being man about it and just telling the guy,
     his freakin "shack" is a **** hole ! and he needs to get
     his act together before showing it off for public view).

(b). all-cops-are-right attitude - some posters have posted
     story links to corrupt/crooked cops - so much so it became
     an epidemic. posters were flamed for being 'anti-cop' when
     in fact, all they did is point out new stories allready
     public knowledge in print or television.

(c). many (as others have pointed out), 'know-it-alls' who pretend
     to have knowledge they don't have, and will espouse all sorts
     of gibberish (and can't even use correct grammar or spelling).
     a favorite topic appears to be "digital" systems. many "experts"
     chiming in with their dubious opinions.

(d). many 20 something "whackers" - ie. volley fire & rescue guys
     who get off on having emergency lights/radios in their personal
     vehicles.


you may want to check out the "ham***y forums" - now those guys
are freakin hilarious ! the outlaw/wildwest amateur radio/redlight
district if you will.
