a month's worth of wank
I was reading the F_w friends page, and someone requested some Usenet wank. Completely unrelated, I was reading rec.arts.sf.written for the first time in months and found this bit of wankery.

Some poor man dared to ask if the Honor Harrington series was any good. 1080+ posts later, and they're still going on and on and on...but not on the original topic. This thread has it all: insults on people's taste in books, their taste in humor, and a really long tangent on the mechanics of book publishing.

I got through about the first 60, and I must say that it's a surprisingly tame flamewar. Long, detailed, filled with information, and very polite.

Wow. I should spend more time in usenet if they have flamewars like that...
