Dan Lyke mentioned the “alt.syntax.tactical gang” at Flutterby so I had to look them up on DejaNews. These folks are devoted to the further reduction of the Usenet signal to noise ratio:
Anyone can walk into alt.sex and post that pornography should be banned. Anyone can walk into rec.sport.baseball and say “baseball sucks”. It takes unbelievable skill and discipline to cause a PROLONGED flame war. That is what we do. But it can only be done with talent, and numbers to match that talent. We only bring into the fold people who have the knack to use smarts to incite chaos, not stupidity to incite being ignored when people see a post and know what you’re up to.
Postmodernist bashers will enjoy the a.s.t. charter at the end of the FAQ.
