0, 1, 2  ??  	  oh my goodness, this is truly amazing.


Kchula-Rrit, you don't have to justify you're being a sysadmin to me or
anyone else.  I just thought what you wrote was funny.  And of course all 
of Usenet is a circus.  Don't forget the famous Honeyman/North theorem:  

	Usenet is a slow-moving parody of itself

and it's equally famous corrollary:  

	Usenet is like walking into a crowded movie theater and
	yelling, "CAR FOR SALE!"


And besides, despite all that stuff Ray Dunn wrote (and say, there was a
man on a search and destroy mission) most of the portal stuff that went
on in alt.flame over the past couple of weeks was much funnier than any-
thing that gets into any of those silly rec.humor.* groups.  So my advice
is keep the alt.groups and dump soc.sin and .humor et al.  There, that
should even out your costs a bit.
