Ok, everyone is dumping on Alex for his (admittedly stupid) cross-followup
to inappropriate groups. Now I want to dump on the stupid idiots who assume
that half the people on the net want to read their rantings and so they
post to 4 or 5 groups (usually net.politics, net.women, net.flame, 
net.singles, ...). Well that's just dandy, but I just spent a half hour
cleaning up my .newsrc file because of a line that was too long because
of this. The line in question? net.politics! I don't even subscribe to
it, but because of these fuck-heads who post everywhere they can think of
I was a victim (rn updates for every group mentioned in the posting, I 
guess). Was Alex's little "joke" any worse? Why? Because it affected more
people? Sorry, but I DON'T buy that one. To me it is just the same. So take
your multi-group postings and send them to /dev/null!
