USENET is not, and never will be, a democracy.

USENET is not fair.

Those two gems of wisdome were pulled (if my rapidly fading memory serves) from
Zen and the Art of the Internet.  One should remember them before they start to
make comments about censorship, or fairness, or many other things.

I don't like it much either (that it's not fair) but then again, whose fair is the
one that get's used?  Mine?  Yours?  Scarecrows?

I figure most everyone is lucky to even have this chance to vote....
