A request to net users (such as Mark Horton) :

The flames that have been directed to a myriad of users requesting that
they move a discussion from one group to another, due to the ALLEGED
improper use of a news group, do not belong in :

net.announce 

> If you want to discuss this, please confine the discussion to net.news.

or in net.general 

> The newsgroup net.net-people now exists for this sort of thing.

or in any of the other news groups (with the possible exception of
net.flame). Having read the net for some time now, we know that we are
really tired of reading these messages under a reference to the
original discussion. The posting of a request to move a discussion is as
inappropriate as a posting of a message to the wrong group. 

If you feel that the message belongs somewhere else, contact the
user by e-mail and let them know. Excercise some net maturity.
Let them decide the appropriate action from that point. This net
should not be an outlet for self-proclaimed traffic cops who administer
justice in public. 

Not to be hypocritical, this message could have been sent to the individual
offenders. However, this has been posted in hopes to put an end to this 
sort of nonsense once and for all.

	A few SICK and TIRED readers 
	of the news (yes, we try to read it)
	who can't stand it ANYMORE.
