Those of oddjob's downsite neighbors who do not appreciate Matt's arbitrary and capricious decisions regarding which newsgroups he will permit them to read, are cordially invited to contact Karl Denninger at Traveller's Aid. If you will poll ddsw1, Karl will be more than happy to supply any and all groups Matt doesn't think you should see.

I see from here in Boston that three copies of this article have flung their sweet selves across the Usenet universe. I only sent one. I don't know how this happened, but I apologize for the fact that there are now three. Gack. Mary Patricia

USENET is made up of people voluntarily passing newsgroups and mail around, mostly at their own expense. Many sites fail to carry many newsgroups, some more "important" than this drivel. If you don't like it, you just go poll someone else. You don't flame them for doing what they're free to do. Noone is required to pay for what they consider wasted bandwidth and considering that oddjob *has* ten neighbors I'd say that they're doing more to hold the net together than many other sites. I've nothing against your suggesting other routes for the news for the downstream sites but try and be reasonable about it, eh? > Sucre en Morceaux -David Kovar DKovar@BBN.COM
