Good for you, Barbara. Those who won't practice basic netiquette deserve no
answers. I don't know what alt.vampyres is about exactly, but I'm pretty sure
the folks there didn't laugh at the "joke" much. Usenet abuse and lack of
common netiquette is rampant. It destroys newsgroups, and inappropriate
cross-posting is high on the list of how that happens.

Got a question? Good, ask in the appropriate newsgroups and limit your
cross-posting to 3 groups *maximum*. If you can't follow that "rule" then I
can only assume you probably fart in public and pick your nose at the dinner
table too.
