And if you don't include net.flame in your newsgroup list, I think that people may give your opinion due consideration. Meta-discussions are often fairly useful; about half of all new newsgroups have started as results of meta-discussions in existing newsgroups. Asking that people discuss differences via netmail rather than by net-wide postings, and then not giving a valid electronic mail address (I don't think Kris Kugel, your notesfile administrator, is really interested in reading mail that was meant for you) doesn't help your argument a whole lot.
