While I agree with your statement that it doesn't matter what is in
net.books as long as the articles are about  books.

But, I must disagree with you about your definitions of morality
in literature. First, the "heros always wear white" has got to be
the stupidest archtype in the arsinal of human knowledge. Hero's
come in all sizes and shapes and colours. 
Number two: Are you suggesting that Ellison's works suffer because
they are "immoral". And what does morality have to do with Heros.
Heinlein definitely tells you who the hero of his story is, and
never lets you doubt it. But he has got to be the most "immoral"
author out there, at least by your definitions. Personally, I would
rather read something that it interesting and spicy than dull and
"moral". If I want to read morality I will read the bible or some
other religious work that I have no intention of reading.
