O, no, I beseech Thee! Most honorable and revered Maynard of the Back Bone, leave our poor humble newsgroup in peace! What, O Great One, can the net.womyn and net.alan-aldas do to propitiate Thee? How many MIPS must we put at your disposal, that you may forgive our grievous violation of the Net Name Hierarchy (for, as it is truly written: Comp is Comp and Soc is Soc, and never the twain shall meet, lest base anarchy fall upon the Net)? O Spaf the Important; O Weemba the Obnoxious; intercede on behalf of us, your humble users. O you Members of the Back Bone, masters (and, per chance, mistresses?) of the Sacred Arcana of the Net, mitigate your wrath, and grant us poor deviates one humble misplaced newsgroup. Woe, woe, woe! ----- But seriously, folks... can the nitnews admins down here set their systems to *ignore* rmgroup messages, or at least not make the removal automatic? -- -- "Where are we going?"
