Not to sound small minded, or anything, but it seems to me that it isn't too much difficulty for people to police themselves concerning what should be where - a thousand erroneously placed articles are a LOT less annoying than one stupid person who feels it is his 'divine' right to inform the hapless submitter that They Submitted To the Wrong Group! I gag everytime a group is taken over, even if for only a couple of messages, by these mindless twits! This is just occuring in the net.sources group. Look: So the guy shouldn't have posted the article to the group. Okay. So some people send him mail slapping his wrist. He'll get the message. But when everyone thinks they are the only one who can defend the honour (strange though it may be!) of the group and must therefore spit out the castigating note to the ENTIRE NET, then, and only then, I GET PISSED! I can't go on - I'll just get more hostile. Strangly annoyed, Dave Taylor "This is a test of the Emergency Broadcast System. In the event of a real emergency, we'd all be dead"
