Aha!  Now I get the chance to pop the question I've wondered about, ever
since I joined this network.

I do not allow the receipt of the following newsgroups :
	net.abortion
	net.religion
	net.religion.christian
	net.christian.jewish
	net.philosophy

Every two weeks we get the posting from seismo that lists the top news
submitters by name for the last two weeks.  One of the things that I 
noticed right off the bat was, this Rich Rosen character is ALWAYS near
the top (in the top 5 if not #1 or #2), EVERY two weeks.  I also noticed
that the volume of traffic he generates is like 70 Kbytes or more!
I have never seen one of his postings. ( I think I'm glad :-) What I would
like to know is:

- Is he a moderator or something (self-appointed? :-)?  I cannot fathom
anyone generating 70K worth of text in two weeks, unless they spend every
waking hour inside 'postnews'.

- Look at the newsgroups he posts to.  Sounds like a prime candidate for
Is This Man A Prat? award.

- What is it about his ego?

Breathlessly awaiting a response,
