It was posted to net.flame in order to give the net.flame supporters an opportunity to respond.

I believe that most of these articles WERE cross-posted to net.news.group (the place for rational discussion (?)). The anti-flame people are DOING YOU A FAVOR by posting articles here as well! > If no one wanted this newsgroup, it seems to me it would > just dry up and disappear. "Want" isn't important, "need" is. (Just look at the volume that was posted in net.bizarre and then tell me that the group wasn't wanted. It wasn't needed, that's all.) Net.flame is a large group with very little information content. So when the bean counters attack, net.flame will be the first to go. (OK, OK, so net.bizarre was the first. Net.flame is still very high on the list.) -- UUCP: ..!seismo!k.cs.cmu.edu!mcb ARPA: mcb@k.cs.cmu.edu "It came time to move, so I packed up my Salvador Dali print of two blindfolded dental hygienists trying to make a circle on an Etch-a-Sketch..."
