Ideally, ALL users of the USENET are network monitors.

In the abscence of positive educational efforts on the part of netnews
administrators across the network (Are You Listening, AT&T EXPTOOLS
administrators?), the individual users all over the world should be
exerting peer-pressure by network mail to modify undesireable behaviour
on the part of other users of the network.

Is it really so hard to read the network etiquette articles, and work
within those guidelines? And perhaps occasionally educate someone else
about those guidelines?

In sum, it is our network, and we are all collectively responsible
for the content thereof.
