Summary: 

As I am sure others will point out, harpooning net.flame will likely
have the effect of scattering the flames to the four winds, and they
will land on all the other poor, unsuspecting net-groups out there.

What would perhapps be a better solution would be to prevent posting
flames to multiple news-groups, (as I believe that this is how the
current brew-ha-ha got started).  This would have the effect of
containing the flames more effectively, rather than fanning them.
