One of the more interesting groups to me over the years was the lamented (by
me) net.flame.  This group was significantly more amusing than net.jokes at
its best/worst.  Old timers will remember the joy of watching someone who
submitted "test" to net.general get charred to a puny, crisp cinder.

I hereby propose and offer to moderate a new group:

		*************
		* mod.flame *
		*************

The contents of this group will be restricted to unprovoked accusations, ad
hominem (feminem, mechanism) attacks of any sort, blistering complaints against
the unfairness of the world, the fairness of the world, your boss, your
spouse, your advisor, your home room teacher, IBM, UNISYS*, etc.

Responses by those attacked, representatives of those attacked, or those who
wish to defend those attacked will be scorned.

No reasonable submission will be accepted.

*  UNISYS?  UNISYS:

-Doctor, Doctor, I've got UNISYS!

-Sit down, son, sit down.

-Sit down?  Dammit, Doctor, if I could sit down I wouldn't be here.
