 Some time ago, the newsgroup Comp.lang.Modula2 was filled with cross
postings about a contest and OOPS languages.  
I didn't know about kill files until then, but I set one up to kill
that subject name.  Unfortunately, I don't know where the kill file
lives on my system.

I didn't object to the subject, but it did intrude on my morning, and
it will until I kill the kill file.  No flames about knowing the system,
please.

I now submit these thoughts.

a)  y'all in alt.drugs, please remove the 'comp.sys.att' from the
    newsgroup circulation line.  This may extinguish many flames.

b)  offended readers in comp.sys.att could send MAIL to each poster who
    seems to have blindly crossposted.  Those who don't see how
    an innocent posting could possibly be intrusive ...
