Realizing there must be at least one Internet community (maybe Usenet, maybe a web forum, maybe a Reddit) still traumatized from that longrunning argument years ago with a guy who wanted them to admit that Rio de Janeiro was not a city because, as you too would comprehend if you had actually *learned* middle-school Spanish like he did, a 'rio' is a *river* instead.
@Austin_Dern It is my destiny to find the person responsible and kill them. I just have to find the Sacred Book of Basic Fucking Wisdom I must bludgeon them over the head with.
@Austin_Dern I still get misty-eyed missing Archimedes Plutonium from sci.physics now and then. :|

@zebratron2084 I mean, yes.
Still, a group does seem to need a reliable domesticated crank to stay healthy. rec.arts.comics.strips never recovered from losing the guy who insisted the Brad-Toni romance in _Luann_ was the greatest tale in American comic strips this century.
