Message-ID: <1739@iddic.UUCP> Date: Thu, 21-Jun-84 11:04:44 EDT Article-I.D.: iddic.1739 Posted: Thu Jun 21 11:04:44 1984 Date-Received: Sat, 23-Jun-84 03:45:01 EDT Organization: Tektronix, Beaverton OR Lines: 18 Yea. Although I had not yet unsubscribed to general, the long article on smoking did it. Seems that a fair number of submissions to the net lately are deliberate attempts to irritate other net users, especially in net.general and net.jokes. The only answer to such behavior is to ignore it, or remove the temptation. Remove net.general.
