I checked out alt.locksmithing, based on some commentary I saw over in alt.current-events.net-abuse, and to be perfectly honest, there isn't really all that much going on along these lines, certainly nothing on the order of magnitude of the alt.religion.scientology crap. One or two soreheads, but by net.standards they don't even really qualify as significant flamers, and a few (apparently) professional locksmiths who are talking about things in a rather friendly fashion. --Paul J.
