Well, I suggest that you visit a qualified optician, as I posted a detailed
and entirely reasonable proposal concerning how to improve C News some six
days ago.

Perhaps you just didn't notice it; oddly enough, all the people who were busy
flaming me don't seem to have found anything to flame in my proposal.  This
seems to me to support my opinion that people haven't been listening to what
I've been saying.

I would have liked to have been able to discuss the problems with C News
without having to sit down and write a semi-formal proposal, but I suppose I
was just being over-optimistic in trying to do so.

If you think my scheme is ill-thought, please tell me exactly what you think
is wrong with it.

So far as I am aware, you have yet to contribute anything of value to this
debate; your postings seem to consist of nothing but snide personal attacks
against me.  I am therefore setting followups to alt.flame, a much more
suitable place for that kind of posting.
