In an attempt to get this group to _stop_ resembling net.flame, I am posting a quote from net.general.newuser - if it fails to 'ring a bell' with anyone, I suggest you resubscribe until the next time the docs come around (~1 a month): > It is never a good idea to carry on "meta-discussions" about > whether a given discussion is appropriate -- such traffic > mushrooms until nobody can find articles that belong. If you > are unhappy with what some user said, send him/her mail, don't > post it.

>> It is never a good idea to carry on "meta-discussions" about >> whether a given discussion is appropriate -- such traffic >> mushrooms until nobody can find articles that belong. If you >> are unhappy with what some user said, send him/her mail, don't >> post it. Likewise, condemnation of a person whose postings happen to offend someone is out of order. Uttering "offensive" ideas is a far cry from abusing the net. I remember a long discussion last year over whether Martillo had any right to post. The current bogey-man seems to be Rosen. Enough, already! ---------- Nathan Meyers hplabs!hp-pcd!nathanm
