1: Some people submit more news than others.
2: These people are abusing the net.	Q.E.D.

Would whoever came up with this piece of logic please explain it? It
seems akin to the "all men are created equal and if they arent equal now
by God we will make them equal" argument which has been raised in net.flame.

If you think that people are abusing the net, send mail to them telling them
so. If you think that certain newsgroups are a waste of time, dont subscribe.
If as a site administrator you feel that a group is entirely useless, dont
even receive the group!  (But become a *node*. Miserable cretins who sign up
to be a news forwarder and then cut off the news feed in groups they deem
"unimportant" have no business in netnews distribution.)

If anyone sends me any automatic messages concerning my net abuse I will
quite cheerfully fling them to /dev/null. Save your breath, folks, unless
you have a good argument.
