[news.misc] Usenet soap opera

dave@astra.necisa.oz (Dave Horsfall) (06/17/87)

Sigh.  I've had enough of this garbage.

FLAME:

Would you people terribly mind if this sort of crap was kept where
it belongs, i.e. in "usa"?  I'm sure that the whole damned WORLD
does NOT want to read about this saga of somebody or other who is
not quite sure whether they are male or female (or whether it even
matters), being ejected or not ejected from some damned bulletin
board or other.  I've seen better soap operas on TV.

I'm sure there's a place for this inane discussion.  Somewhere
in one of those idiotic groups which thankfully remain in the
good ol' US of A, and not infecting the rest of the world.

Now, if I can just work out how to program RN to ignore any items
containing any of the following proscribed keywords: Mark, Ethan,
Smith, Well, CA, etc etc.

NORMAL:

Use the distribution feature, please?  Believe it or not, there
is a world outside the shores of the USA.  It's civilised too.

If you come up with such a program, please, please let me know!  Killing
all these articles works OK, but the subject keeps spilling over into new
categories and catching me by surprise.  I refuse to ever read another
posting by, in reply to, or about Mark Ethan Smith.
