the net. Net.real.unix.wizards, indeed. Why do all you systems programmers
feel so superior to us numerical people? If not for us, there would be no
reason for your jobs! :-) If I really wanted to ask a systems-related
question about UNIX, where would you suggest I post it? (For the record,
I haven't posted anything to unix-wizards that I can remember). Do you 
really think I could get an answer from a net.unix-novice? Give us a break!
  Seriously, though, I object to any form of censorship. If you really want
a "closed submission" group, set up a mailing list, because that is what you
are really talking about. One of the real beauties of netnews is *precisely*
that there *is no* prevention of anyone posting anything they damn well please.
I for one would much rather wade through lots of "garbage" (who gets to define
what that is, anyway?) than have anyone tell me what I can and can't post.
