"In meetings, the person who is least competent usually does the most talking. Talking is a direct substitute for competence, at least in the minds of other people. Five minutes after you leave a meeting, you won't remember what anyone said but you will remember who did most of the talking. Withing a day your mind will translate that into a notion that the talker was unusually knowledgeable" - Scott Adams, Dilbert and the way of the weasel

speaking of the register - it seemed to take them ages to catch on to that spammer getting snail-mail bombed.
Technically speaking the dictionary would define Visual Basic users as programmers.
But here again, a very generalized, liberal definition is being employed and it's wrong

Frank Gaffney has the right take on this: "He says that it would only take one more terrorist attack and public support is assured. " This is the same method they've used to convince an hysterical, ignorant public to vote away their personal rights in the past. Up to now, the War on Drugs has been the emotional lever to undermine the Constitution, but after many billion$ spent without result, and hundreds of thousands of harmless non-criminals being incarcerated at public expense, the ploy has been wearing thin. The War on Terrorism is the new hope for those who wish to rule us, and has as its only purpose the objective of enabling a slave society. I'm betting that it will succeed.

Then wouldn't this be in some small way a victory for the terrorists? To undermine/eradicate current freedoms that the American people enjoy?
