The first thing to understand about Usenet is that it is widely
misunderstood. Every day on Usenet, the "blind men and the elephant"
phenomenon is evident, in spades. In my opinion, more flame wars
arise because of a lack of understanding of the nature of Usenet than
from any other source.
And consider that such flame wars arise, of
necessity, among people who are on Usenet.
Imagine, then, how poorly
understood Usenet must be by those outside!
