What's most revolting is that he's making trouble and hounding attention in news.*, instead of soc.*, where it belongs. If I cared about this stuff, I'd carry soc.line_noise. So, why am I posting this? A suggestion: I think this whole brouhaha started over some questionable material in soc.women. Since having soc.women as an open group seems to result in an uncomfortable environment for its readers, and in spill-overs to other groups, I think soc.women should be *moderated*. Remember .women.only ? The moderator's job would be simple: No postings by men. Thus, no feminist vs. MCP flame wars. No cross-posted garbage. The women get a for,by,and about women newsgroup. Matter of fact, if it goes over, *I'd* volunteer for moderator. I mean this in all seriousness, and with no implied sexism or denigration of anyone. So flames>/dev/null. Lou Marco ps - Of course, people like MES would need a note from their SA attesting to their sex. Like for the Security mailing list....
