There's those of us out here that read rec.humor funny for jokes, and there's rec.humor.d for discussions about smiley faces and other such cuteness. This is news.admin, and I, for one, would greatly appreciate you keeping your inane flame throwing session out of here. Jeez, you start off with what appears to be a valid discussion of the purpose of USENET, and it degenerates into a pile of junk that isn't even worthy of talk.bizzarre. I suppose that this message will generate even more crap, but please keep in mind that there's lots of us who are paying long distance charges to move this stuff around, and while you are busy talking about responsibility, your arguments would carry much more weight if you acted responsibly. -- Phillip M.
