[ale] 2 Ale'r's slashdotted in one day...

[Chris Woodruff]

I have to agree with all so far concerning most of the people who run
/.  They have egos twice the size of the beanbags that they sit in
during the shows.  I remember Malda promising to help EFF during the
benefit dinner at the last true ALS (A = Atlanta) and nothing became of
it.  Well let Malda sit around Holland, MI (actually the most boring
place on earth) and live in his imaginary world.  /. has become stale
anyway.

Who actually knows the criteria of the stories that are posted on /.?
Seems like it all is game consoles, anime and anything anti-M$.
