Actually, the following little rant is how i really feel, but I thought something so short was poor reward for your long and well-reasoned one on aliens in TV SF. :-)

I tend to rant about things which make me really angry and they usually do because I can't change them, so ranting doesn't help. It don't even make me feel any better because it only makes me think about something I have no control over (like the changes in the IT industry, see below) when I'd rather not. So if it doesn't change anything and doesn't make me feel better, what the hell's the point?

Though actually I can think of one only--sympathetic agreement from others so I know I'm not alone, but hey.
