If it can't send its little pedantic reports to someone who can do something about the problem, then it shouldn't be pedantic. It DOES, in the form of daily reports--the problem is that everyone "can" do something about it, just not everyone *wants* to. If your upstream site does want to, then problem solved; if he or she doesn't, oh well. I'm quite happy with the way Usenet WAS run. C News seems to have changed the situation overnight. I'm sorry this crusade of yours has ruined it for you. If they are clearly stated *wrong* positions, why not continue to take pot-shots at them? Wrong by whose standards? Yours? Pfft.
