What happened to this newsgroup?
 

Once upon a time this newsgroup consisted of people asking about vegi
filters and how big fish get. When people disagreed with each other
they were civilized. I went away for a few years and now that I'm back
I'm shocked to see how rude people can get. This should be a
discussion of ideas and not personal attacks.
