Whoa, just what is the purpose of the net anyway, and who is paying
for it?  Look at all the trash that gets onto net.religion,
politics, tv, kids, etc., etc., etc.  I would think one of the
most legitimate uses for the net is software distribution, not
the chatting and bickering that goes on in most of the other
groups.  Who decides these things anyway?  How do we get
to put in our 2 cents with those who control it?
