I am certainly not in favor of seeing the network become an haven
for those seeking free advertising, but:

I am just as sick of seeing a million followups everytime someone
posts an inappropriate article.  If the net police are upset about
the X dollars in phone charges spent to send the ad, isn't it even
more foolish to spend 30*X dollars to transmit to the whole country
the type of article quoted above in one redundant followup after the
next?

Please folks, *mail*, do not post, your objections to inappropriate
articles and transgressions of usenet netiquette.

Thank you
