You've just helped to kill newsgroups, idiot.

Should we send the posts to you for approval, Michael?


C'mon, do you think that OT posts just started?

In every group there are a few individuals who would like to be "net cop"
and be a medieval king: everyone obey MY^ rules, but I don't have to obey
my own rules.

More seriously, what kills newsgroups is a less than critical mass of
people who are willing to author _any_ posts, including OT posts that draw
other people out of their lazyness through the principle of "I'm going to
let someone ELSE do all the work."
