    Historically, Usenet clients tended to respond to both groups in response to articles posted to multiple newsgroups.

    This tended to result in trolls doing things like posting “I’m in the market for a computer. Which is better, PC or Mac?” to comp.os.ms-windows.advocacy and comp.os.mac.advocacy with the intention of starting flamewars.

      That exact flamewar will never not be funny!! 🤣 So sayeth we all. 🖥️💻

      Bc the answer will always be Mac if money were of zero consideration, Linux if someone lives in the real world, and only use Windows if there is both a gun to your head at that moment and a very specific game that you wanted to play requires it, and even then try emulation first.
