The issue here is that this guy re-POSTED the same (long) article to just
about every group on the net! He didn't even cross-post!!! That is a serious
nettiquette violation, IMO. It is a waste of bandwidth which translates into
a waste of $$ for those netters who get to pay for their feed on a prorated
basis, not to mention the duplication of information which probably clogged
a few news servers. IMO very inconsiderate behavior!
