I agree with the person on net.jokes who gently "flamed" about
non-jokes appearing on net.jokes.

I DO NOT subscribe to net.jokes to read discussions about origins of
jokes!

I DO NOT subscribe to net.jokes to hear flames about what is/is-not in
good/bad taste!

I DO NOT subscribe to net.jokes to see diatribes against a previous joke!

If you want to continue the discussion on the origin of jokes, please
move it to another newsgroup (I will admit that the parenthetical word
"discussion" makes it easy to bypass that article).

If you want to flame about anything, write to net.flame.  (If anything
posted to the net is in bad taste, your admonitions to the contrary
will not cure the sender of his bad taste.  At best it will produce
silence, at worst, more flame/bad-jokes at your expense.)

If you object to a particular joke, send hate mail to the perpetrator.
The rest of us should not be subjected to it.
