I have a suggestion that I think might go a long way tworads aleviating(sp?)
some of the problems rearing their ugly heads on the net.

Cross-posting to net.flame (or to any newsgroup for that matter): 

		Don't do it!!

At least not in the ordinary way (ie putting all the group names in the
newsgroup: line).  Instead, make a copy of the posting, and send each one
to what you consider the appropriate newsgroups *SEPERATELY*!!!  This way,
each group gets a crack at building (or tearing apart) a worthwhile (or not)
discussion concerning the subject *without disturbing other newsgroups*!

The moral is:  Never post to more then one newsgroup at a time.
