Bruce rises to the occasion and does things of sterling character when
you least expect it. ;-> (As the Aussies say, 'Good on ya, Bruce.')

Take it from someone who was employed at VA Linux Systems during and
after the time we acquired Andover.net (Slashdot's itty-bitty corporate
entity): Slashdot was _always_ a poster child for Sturgeon's Law,
overwhelmingly a place for bored pseudonymous nobodies to exercise poor
impulse control and the maturity of frat boys.

One of life's many ironies is that after VA Research^W^W VA Linux
Systems^W^W^W SourceForge, Inc.^W^W^W withered away so much from basic
business ineptitude that its remaining husk could no longer _even_
afford to pay the 401(k) retirement fund fees, and sold off _everything_
including SourceForge and Slashdot, the tiny remaining ember entity,
GeekNet, Inc. is sort of like an embryonic Andover.net -- so the tail
has ended up wagging the dog.

(Dice Holdings initially bought Slashdot and SourceForge.net in 2015, but
recently offloaded them to a small and obscure investment firm.)
