juno is a "free" service that is paid for with advertising.

good point.  Keeping up with Internet-speak is a handfull.

Most of the insults here seem to come from people who are on the weaker 
side of technical arguments.

I noticed that many of those who left discredited themselves in some way.

Because humans are Heavily into denial of reality.  Another factor is 
that there are too many wannabe famous guys out there who lack "the right 
stuff".  .  Yet another factor is that males hate to stop and ask for 
directions and/or admit they are in over their head.
