Yes, this news did inspire the old hellfire and self righteous angst.

Thanks for what I take to be a kudo.

I've grown out of the BB mentality because in the intervening time I've experienced exactly the same basic human shittiness in almost every walk of life and business. Plus 20 years ago I never paid attention to politics. Now that I pay some attention to politics I find the same lack of character and meanness I used to complain about to be evenly distributed across humanity.

That was really the antidote to being BB - understanding that human evil and mediocrity drift is universal. Technical people are profoundly, particularly incurious and clueless about human nature.
