Re: inappropriate postings


So you want to divide rec.pets into 

      rec.pets.dog          rec.pets.cats&birds&mice&snakes&ferrets&spiders




I don't want to read about cats while looking for pet bird postings.




Also note that USENET is an anarchy. You can change the category name but
you'll have a hard time keeping INDOOR from appearing unless you 
make an attempt to meet the wishes of the INDOOR folks. In the history of
USENET, "throwing people out" just doesn't work. Enticing them to another
forum does. 

What am I offered to move? (Freedom from insults is a non-starter.)
