...and then lists Gene Spafford, Chuq Von Rospach, Brad Templeton, and Greg
Woods among the top five "guilty parties".

Mr. Dolan, you're an idiot.  Not only are these folks well-known for their
long history of contributions to Usenet, but it's absurd to blindly classify
their articles as "wasteful" or "offensive", tally up the bytes, and then
start pointing fingers.  It's especially absurd in Gene's case, since the
articles you're counting from him are automated monthly postings -- which,
perhaps you should read thoroughly before *you* waste so much bandwidth
in the future.
