	Well, I agree

with Will that

Control-L's are obnoxious

But on the other hand, I

agree with Pat that

They are useful in

net.jokes and net.puzzle.

Let's compromise:

Use them in net.jokes and net.puzzle, where

they are appropriate, but

keep them out of other groups.

Otherwise, I'll have to take

the responsibility upon

myself and edit my shell variables to

ignore the buggers.
