Is this a general accepted statement? i sometimes hear the B word too, (though it is not quite accurate, MacTrek has ghostbusting problems and the Borg collective has excellent networking :-) but wondered if there is a general consus about what is borg and what is not. Personally i like the definition above, including the statement that computing information (like targeting aids) does qualify as borg. <snip> > the netrek "board" (the people who currently run what keeps netrek > alive)? I'd like to address that question to the "board" but would not know where to address. regards Chris
