The following is a recent list of people who have abuse the net.general
group and have contributed to the separation of Europe from that group.
We seem to have slipped back into the old habits of posting to net.general
for any possible reason.  

This is not really to embarrass those people.  (who should be embarrassed).
This is more a cry to once again pound on lecturns and get net.general
down to a small enough size to send to europe.  

My opinion is that net.general articles should never invoke the "n" key
since they are of general interest.  Todays batch was many "n"s and few
"y"s.

Wadda we do?
