It's a little known secret that alt.* has the highest S/N on the net. I'd like to keep it that way. The flames over the alt.birthright pro- posal are proof that a lot of alt.people feel that way too, and DO NOT want to see alt.* become a dumping ground for ANY old nonsense. Since there *is* so much social and political stuff running in comp.*, from particular newsgroups like comp.{risks,org.usenix} to the endless commentar- ies and flames about particular companies and shareware and so on all over the comp.* map, all the arguments that this one more newsgroup was violat- ing some unwritten "technical! technical!" requirement were horseshit. ucbvax!garnet!weemba Matthew P Wiener/Brahms Gang/Berkeley CA 94720
