[net.news] Correct places for flames

jpm@bnl.UUCP (John McNamee) (01/29/83)

I am finding that many articles are being posted to two newsgroups that
dont belong together in my mind. I have only been on the net for a few
months so maybe I just dont understand things, but it seems to me that
you should not post to both net.followup and net.politics or net.flame
and net.religion. net.politics and net.religion seem to be flaming
newsgroups by definition and there is no need to move into net.flame. I
dont like to cary on political or religious discussions by computer and
therefore I dont subscribe to net.religion or net.politics. I dont
see why I should be subjected to reading articles that really belong
only in those groups.
