& leaving not enough space any more for the gifted & charismatic
avantgarde who deserves ruling the net, right?

ancient Greek anti/democrats such as Plato at least put the same notion
into a bit more polite form of expression: "hoi polloi" denoting "the

(The denunciation is just in the rhyme: Greeks despised rhymes as being
tasteless & child/like)
