I just received a message telling me that scifi!ndla!root had unmoderated
rec.humor.funny. Now, since I had never heard of that site before, I
went to the maps. There is no map for ndla, and the map for scifi does not
mention ndla as a connection.
I was doubting because of what was being done, but when I saw by whom
(or should I say !whom), I decided not to do it. But now I wonder - how
many sites just blindly followed the control message (or have news blindly
follow all control messages)? Rec.humor.funny is going to get unfunny
very quickly!
I stayed out of the JEDR flamewars (though I think he was _very_ wrong in
doing what he did and how he did it) but when a non-existant site starts
sending control messages that impact on the same group(s) involved, I just
have to wonder....
Consider this a flame at ndla (if they even exist) for their bad choice in
SysAdmins (if they even have one). I would have mailed it, but since the
site doesn't exist, that is a bit hard to do.
