Based on the equation you give, it seems like the only way
that the TS4 will not crash is if we have massive
flame wars on the net. My reasoning is this:
The TS4 is off-topic for just about every single newsgroup
that exists. So, talking about the TS4 on most newsgroups will
inevitably start a flame-war about the suitibility of the TS4
as a topic of discussion. Hence, you get flamewars on many
newsgroups generating lots of messages with the keyword
TS4 in them but little actual discussion of anything.
So, the TS4 does not crash, but the cost is a net that is
essentially useless for the purposes of real discussion.
If the choice is between saving the TS4 from crashing and having
a chance at avoiding flamewars so that we can have some real
discussion on the net, I'd rather have the TS4 crash, thank you.
It was a nice idea though, too bad no one took into account
the intracies of net.etiquette.
