re sick humor, and to boot, these are posted to net.general which
presumedly everyone reads. I suppose this is an attempt to both aid the
proliferation of this garbage and an attempt to increase the shock value.
I for one find such antics disgusting, inappropriate, and certainly not
indicative of what USENET should be. Would anyone who feels the urge to
post such trash either desist or post it to net.jokes (rot-13). Net.general
is not the proper forum for venting your hostilities regardless of your
motivation or point of view. Net.general is for, "Important and timely
announcements of interest to all."
If you seriously want to present a case for the creation of a new
news group, net.news.group is the proper forum.
I have posted this article to net.followup in hopes that it will
receive proper visibility without imposing on net.general. Net.followup is
for, "Followups to articles in net.general."
thank you,
