I agree.  And it would also help if people stopped posting those articles which
do nothing but include a long quote and then say things like, "I don't know,
but I'd like to know the answer too." or "Yeah, I'd like that." or "please send
me a copy of that too."  People should learn to send mail, and to think before
posting.

I would also like a news filter that did K(ill) operation on specific        
individuals.
