This newsgroup is typical in that disagreement is "allowed" as long as *certain*
assertions are not challenged.

In the US currently, we can calmly argue over /how/ to deal with Isis, but

nutcase.

Similarly, in p.o-t we can calmly argue over the specifics of king-for-a-day

the king-for-a-day premise itself is quickly, sharply admonished.

premise" is.

Older? Do you mean "elderly" or just above 40? The latter would be 
easily explainable to me - the heydays of POV-Ray were in the 1990s, 
when also the Internet in its easily accessible GUI incarnation, called 
the World Wide Web emerged... and POV-Ray was one of the achievements 
emerging from the free software culture that had developed during the 
pre-WWW stages of the Internet. So, not so few of the twentysomethings 
who entered the Internet during the early to mid-1990s (and who already 
became familiar with home computers as teenagers in the 1980s) also gave 
POV-Ray a try - while the later generations of users did not have that 
"geek" background anymore, as the Internet soon became as ubiquitous and 
(seemingly!) trivial to use as TV or telephone, and so it may appear 
that such absorbing computer hobbies like raytracing have gone out of 
fashion with younger people on the Internet...

And I also wonder how extremely people from Islamic countries are 
here... I keep track of p.b.i. since 2000, and I remember only 2 (two!) 
active posters (out of currently 1,360!) whose names clearly indicate an 
Islamic background! Which I think is somewhat strange, as the 
traditional abstract, geometrical and mathematical Islamic approach to 
art goes perfectly well with POV-Ray...

It would be better to have this explained by Shay himself, rather than 
to look it up using Google (it's tempting, but the chance is high to end 
up with a strangely different definition, not to mention lunatic fringe 
rantings on the issue)...
