Since this seemed to be a political statement, and this is not net.politics, I mailed him a note asking him if it was a political statement, and requesting, if it was, that he not send more political statements (if I may so dignify the submission) to this newsgroup. It is my understanding that this is what netiquette requires. I also included a short statement taking issue with his conclusions from the election. Below is his response to my letter. I would like to call the attention of his local netnews administrator to this. Maybe s/he can convince Arndt to be more selective in his newsgroup selection. Obviously mail will not be effective.
