Xref: linus news.admin:25 news.misc:59 Even thought net.flame is gone, the net still exists and people who claim it being a professional organization are only claiming what they want usenet to be. This ain't IEEE, it's one of the few anarchys that works! I for one am not offended by use of such words as "shit-for-brains", its usage can be quite effective and useful at times. You're free to complain to the SA for brahms, but you should probably deal with the individual posting the offending material, instead of whining to the rest of the net about how YOU don't like x@y.z.q because he uses dirty words. You're just what the world needs, another net.cop. Grow up, remember, we're all professionals here... -- USENET- .... Sea'n Byrne 6 years . /\ . Philips Laboratories/NAPC of anarchy . / \ .
