You forgot D) who are B's that try and convert A's and C's to B's and
there-by often get accused of being A's.
Got that? I hope so because I don't think I could say it twice myself!
:')

Note: I assume 'whinger' is Aussie for Whiner?

  What, stop whinging & actually do something? Where's the fun in that?

  I had an amusing conversation yesterday regarding Americans & voting.
  They
  complain about the goverment, don't vote, are amazed that Australians
  have
  compulsory voting (that's a violation of your rights) and live in a
  democracy. Right. (No Americans were about to defend themselves,
  unfortunately.)

  You can pigeon-hole people into 3 categories:

  A: Whingers
  B: Doers
  C: Don't care

  There's really only 2 categories, the "Don't care" folk become
  whingers at
  the drop of a hat.

  I've found that I don't have much time for the more rabid whingers
  these
  days. Those who state: "xxx is xxx as xxx is caused by xxx. If xxx
  was to
  xxx the xxx would xxx. These are just my opinions, but only a
  complete moron
  would think otherwise."

  You can fill in the gaps with cats, religion, jews, Windows, Unix,
  16F84,
  token-ring, chocolate, taxes, heat, oil, MS BOB, guns, lead-free
  solder,
  conspiracy, cigarete smoke, porn, Volkwagon, Coke, cancer, single
  button
  mice, arabs, government, liquid paper, soduko, rednecks, CapsLock,
  orange
  underwear, Zune, spam, terrorists, Fiji, global warming, plastic,
  copper etc
  - any combination works.

  Here's a typical rant: Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has
  warned
  Western leaders to follow the path of God or "vanish from the face of
  the
  earth". "These oppressive countries are angry with us ... a nation
  that on
  the other side of the globe has risen up and proved the shallowness
  of their
  power"

  Replace "Mahmoud Ahmadinejad", "Western leaders" & "God" with "RMS",
  "Windows Users" & "GNU", (you figure out the rest) and it still
  works. (Ok,
  a bit harsh on RMS. ESR? Then you can toss in guns)

  There doesn't seem to be any overlap or crossover between Groups A &
  B.

  I'm also forming a theory regarding those whose mail program fail to
  handle
  quoting properly, but I need a few more data points.
