to provide Procrastination with some insulation from the lingering trench warfare being waged by the unfortunates who, regrettably, were left behind. as a consequence virtually all posts originating with the emigre's having to do with their former homeland (botf) appear here rather than out on the Procrastination main page. the unfortunates, however, use their wailing and gnashing of teeth to post endlessly about the elitist-meanies on the botf main page and use those flaming reply totals (made up largely of three or four unfortunates repeatedly posting replies so as to bump up the total) as evidence of botf's intellectual health. it is a sad cafe, that.
