Surely, with all the brains and talent that is represented by the
Usenet community, we can do better than this!  If you disagree with
someone, do so in a reasonable manner, not like a squalling infant!
People who stoop to name-calling are simply revealing their intellectual
immaturity.

Rich $alz has done a great deal for Usenet -- for all of us.  Thanks to
him, mod.sources (now renamed) has kept the sources flowing.  If anyone
is in a position to know what will reduce transmission costs over the
net, it is Rich!

Those of you who denigrated Rich (you know who you are) should take off
your diapers and grow up!
