There seems to have been a rash of useless articles on this newsgroup lately.

EXAMPLE #1; This article reprints a previous request for articles only to say:

> My roommates (The Pigs) are fanatic D&D players, with a campaign that
> has been going on for over a year...  Not only that, but they have a
> journal to go with it...  I'm pretty sure that one of them would be
> more than happy to chronicle their adventures for the rest of us!

EXAMPLE #2; This article reprints a long previous article only to say:

> Bravo!  I think that is such a good idea that it deserves to be reposted!
> Even with the extra hour to 2 hours it should be worth it!

In the future, lets try to post articles which contain NEW, USEFUL information,
not descriptions of what roommates might do or applause after a long reprinting.
It avoids waste of resources on hundreds of systems and allows the rest of us to
read interesting news without wading through trivial crud.
