the discussions are really ridiculous.
That blanket statement is not logical. There are some people who post
ridiculous things in this group. However, for the most part, the discussions
here are serious Q&A regarding problems that people have. This is a public
newsgroup, and nobody is "locked out" from posting here. As there are all
kinds of people in the world, some of them will be ridiculous. And of
course, the qualitative term "ridiculous" is somewhat subjective. What seems
ridiculous to some may seem reasonable to others. Who should be the arbiter
of what is "truly" ridiculous? This is a Microsoft newsgroup, and Microsoft
is based in the United States. The Founders of the United States felt it
best to allow freedom of speech, and so does Microsoft. It is simpler and
more logical to allow anyone to speak than to try to determine what
qualifies a person to speak. The best part is, you are under no coercion to
agree with, or read any of it.
