But what good would this do, Greg?  Even if you were to succeed in
shutting down the newsgroup, the netters who post there would simply
move to some other newsgroup.  Of course, I could be wrong, but I'm 
willing to bet big bucks that that's what would happen.

And besides, where would this trend stop once it got started?  t.b
is hardly the worst net.offender when it comes to xposting.
