Having to wade through several hundred articles is a good enough argument for me. Note that this is NOT censorship as such, as I don't mind all the bozo back-and-forth discussion/insult-fest in group net.news.group, which I have long since unsubscribed. If someone cares to start a moderated group for that topic, I might consider finding time for it - not that anyone should care, really, if I try to contribute my thoughts on related topics, or not .... I don't mind using the N-key a few times, but hundreds of times ???? Growl, ---Werner
