i don't object to volumes of crap (thats what usenet is all about)
what i don object to is the cost of the volumes of crap
the "three people asked for it so here it is all 2,500 machines" syndrome
do any of you guys have ANY idea what this costs the 95% percent of usenet
who are not interested?
[as an aside i should point out that i am interested in the 520 et al -
i'm just concerned about people mentality when it comes to glibly spending
hundreds of other people hard earned dollars/pounds/dmarks/franks/etc]
