Why not create a mailing list mail.flame? Those who want it can get it,
and those who do not don't. If there is a real interest, it will sur-
vive, and there will be (non-)moderators. In the mean time mod.flame
could be created to contain well-written arguments on net abuse and
the like, which arguments I think clearly do serve a purpose.
Or perhaps net.etiquette would be more appropriate (both for general
and for net-etiquette).

When a doctor doctors a doctor, does the doctoring doctor doctor the doc-
tored doctor with the doctoring doctor's doctrine, or does the doctoring
doctor doctor the doctored doctor with the doctored doctor's doctrine?lauren@vortex.UUCP (Lauren Weinstein) (07/18/85)
This is one case where I don't think a mailing list would work. At least as it stands, a site has the OPTION of turning off net.flame if they really feel that need. But if that sort of stuff were moving by mail, more sites be forced into carrying that material against their will (as part of other mail forwarding) and in many cases would be forced to forward multiple copies of the material to different recipients. My guess is that the backlash to this could be some sites refusing to forward mail at all. --Lauren--

NO. it would be moderated out. net.flame is the editoral page of the net. it's where you let it all hang out, and you tell YOUR side of the story, forget the other dumb-witted dirtbag who can't see the RIGHT opinion. see? SEE?? mod.flame? ha. ha-ha. it is to laugh. nothing personal, biep , i just had to show an example of what WOULDN'T make it to mod.flame. flame has a purpose, let's not even suggest bogus wimpy quiche eating groups like mod.flame. ron "mrmachoimrightyougotohellyoudirtbag" vaughn
