I just recently started reading articles in this newsgroup
and cannot figure it out.  I expected to see some intelligent
discusion on the recent forest fires in the Pacific Northwest,
discussion on the rash of airplane fires, or at least something
about Mrs. O'Leary's cow.  But what before my wondering eyes
should I see -- talk about small cars, drunk driving and gay
pride week.  Give me a break.  How do lyou get that sort
of stuff in this newsgroup, net.flame. Should not car stuff
be in net.auto and gay stuff in net.whatever, somebody told
me net.lisp?  I have never seen more people make fools of
themselves.
