This is a real necessity, for those of us who are annoyed at an article, but who really can't come up with anything intelligent to say. Since this newsgroup would be of limited interest, not everyone would subscribe to it, so we would be safe from the eyes of those who can't spell and think our criticisms trivial: we could vent our feeble frustrations in private, sort of. Perhaps this could be expanded into including examples grammar and latin problems. Note that I am not proposing that discussions about well grammar or latin or spelling be moved into this subgroup: those can either go in net.phlegm, or maybe net.phlegm.spelling.d . o net.phlegm.inappropriate or net.phlegm.inapt - an appropriate place to post favorite inappropriately posted articles, and then to kill them. The shorter version of the name will appeal to those who will not subscribe to net.phlegm.spelling, and to those with tired typers. I feel these topics are certinly of suffishent innerast, since were allways flaming about people who can't spell alot, and how we shouldn't be discussing x in net.y . Yours trully, Lisa S.
