There seems to have been a rash of useless articles on this newsgroup lately.

EXAMPLE #1; This article reprints a previous request for articles only to say:

> My roommates (The Pigs) are fanatic D&D players, with a campaign that
> has been going on for over a year...  Not only that, but they have a
> journal to go with it...  I'm pretty sure that one of them would be
> more than happy to chronicle their adventures for the rest of us!
> -- 
> 
> Shane P. McCarron
> Minnesota Educational Computing Corporation - Technical Services
> 
> UUCP	circadia!meccts!ahby
>	{ihnp4,mgnetp,uwvax}!dicomed!mecc!meccts!ahby


EXAMPLE #2; This article reprints a long previous article only to say:

> Bravo!  I think that is such a good idea that it deserves to be reposted!
> Even with the extra hour to 2 hours it should be worth it!
> -- 
> uucp: [{allegra,seismo,ihnp4}!topaz!lear]
> arpa: [Lear@RU-BLUE.arpa]
/* From: lear@topaz.ARPA (eliot lear) */

In the future, lets try to post articles which contain NEW, USEFUL information,
not descriptions of what roommates might do or applause after a long reprinting.
It avoids waste of resources on hundreds of systems and allows the rest of us to
read interesting news without wading through trivial crud.
