I'm not a big fan of fanatics and I see your point. My perspective is
probably skewed from the whole BK experience. These guys may be a
waste of time but I don't see why they should be shut down. I happen
to agree that there is a problem which needs solving. If they want to
solve it, or better yet, if they simply act as a catalyst and someone
else solves it, that's cool by me.
