Hi:

And I gurantee that within an hour of it going up, you'd see the
following article:

"VICIOUSLY *LIBERAL* _SCUMSUCKING_ Dustbunnies have @STOLEN@ Little
DannyMin's stash of Depends(tm) UNDERGARMENTS and will **ROT** in
HADES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

And that it would soon sport a thread 50 posts long.

Be careful what you wish for...

s.a.a. is still OK...just ignore the silliness. For quiet, reasoned
discussion (which may not be quite as much fun), there's Yahoogroups.

:-)

Peace,

Like SCTs and MCTs?

The alternative is to convert s.a.a. to a moderated group. At this
stage it's worth at least a discussion. Min and whatever loonies who
feel it's their duty to leave their mental defecations all over the net
would be defeated, but it would certainly introduce a minor delay in
seeing new postings.

A killfile makes a nice lil moderator.
