Yeah, the other day...while I was wandering around San Francisco (which
should really be called the City...but I didn't think you or any
uncultured folks would realize that), I felt a bit squeamish. Someone
suggested Indian food. I said, "Indian food? You gotta be joking?
Besides, I don't think my stomach could handle that right now."
So we went Japanese.
My point? I'm not anti-Indian either. In fact, one of my bestest
friends is Indian. It's just...I wasn't up for it you know?

It looks mainly like they're having problems with one editor, Csssclll,
who has been misbehaving, using sockpuppets and such. That you? I
really hope not, but I don't see why one of the other editors would
plead on Usenet to stop him/her and others from stopping Csssclll; they
seem to have it under control.
