News can handle feeds from multiple sites, believe it or not! This way, a site administrator with taste can fail to waste his/her disk space and phone bills on net.flame, and you can still get it. That SA is only preventing you from reading flames which might otherwise have been generated on his/her site. Oh, I'm sorry, this is net.flame, not net.news. Forgive me, is the following better? GET ANOTHER NEWS FEED, YOU CHEESEHEAD! JUST BECAUSE SOME QUICHE-EATING WIMPY SYSTEM AMDISTRINATOR* CAN'T TAKE NET.FLAME DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN'T GET IT FROM WHEREVER YOU DAMN WELL PLEASE! ALL YOU LOSE IS THE FLAMES FROM THE FEEBLEMINDED WHINERS AND WASTERS OF TOILET PAPER FROM THAT SITE, ANYWAY! WHO CARES ABOUT THEM? * Is this misspelled enough?
