I'm completely baffled by Mark Horton's inclusion of net.motss in the list of
"soapbox" groups. Perhaps I didn't read Brian's messages carefully enough,
but I don't recall net.motss appearing in any of the "bad-guy" lists. As a
ROM (read-only-member) of net.motss, it has been my experience that the group
is usually calm, interesting, and informative. With the exception of the
invasions of one or two well known flamers, or rabid fundamentalist bible
thumpers, the list has been remarkably devoid of "heat".

Why was it included?
