""THE STANDARD ADVICE:

There is a way to influence what gets discussed in a newsgroup that
works well, and another way that has never worked no matter how many
people have tried it.

What works: Post articles on the topic you wish to see discussed,
and participate in the resulting discussion. Use killfiles and
filters so that you don't see the articles that you dislike.
If you don't know how to use a killfile, use good old fashioned
discipline and don't read the articles that you dislike. Never,
ever respond to articles that you dislike.

What doesn't work: Respond to articles that you dislike, complain
about articles that you dislike, complain about posters that you
dislike, complain about how terrible everyone else is for not posting
what you want them to post. Talk about how to respond to articles
that you dislike. Make the articles that you dislike the center of
attention, the main topic of discussion, and a personal crusade.""

-Sammie Jung

The above, of course, fully applies to my own posts - including this
one. "

You forgot one additional sage advice... Plonk anyone posting from
gmail ;-)

...Jim Thompson


Why? It's so much more convenient (for me, at least) to use
groups.google... I can read the posts from anywhere - work, library,
even the Apple store in the mall. ;)
