Likewise, you could hold your own discussions in sci.math where they've also
been doing that for some months now.  I happen to find the discussions going
on in this newsgroup to be quite interesting.  Much more so than any of the
condescending pompous nonsense that you've been writing.  Who are you to tell
us what belongs in this newsgroup?  Do you own it?  Some very invigorating
discussion topics have sprung to life here, and I hope no amount of decrees
by you from on high cause those discussions to disappear.  I personally
don't care what you keep in your .plan file, nor do I care about your
overbearing critical opinions about people far more talented than yourself
in your little book reviews.  I happen to have an interest in some of the
fields of study you cover in your articles, but I find your ridiculous
babbling and opinionating to be nauseating at best.  You are entitled to
your opinion regarding what this newsgroup is for.  Apparently that opinion
can be summed up as whatever obnoxio@brahms.berkeley.edu has to say about
the world at large.  But as for the rest of us who have started reading and
participating in fruitful discussions about other topics, please leave us
alone.  You may fancy yourself a network demigod, but you're nothing but
what the header describes you as: an obnoxious math grad student.
