Well, let's see. If someone here asks about fiber optic transmission for telephones, someone here will write 500 words about how the technology works. If there's a question about a computer, ten people will discuss every last chip and drive in the thing, and will even know part numbers. If there's a question about the Middle East, someone will give a detailed history on the particular issue, Microbalrog will offer an Israeli perspective, and DeSelby will defend the radical Islam position.
