    no such "unwritten order" in here; this is net.flame, fieg!  anything goes.

  things like this really tick me off.  people come in here and expect real
  arguments, with proper reasoning and such.  i wish such ignorant morons 
  would read net.announce.newusers and the list of newsgroups where it states
