I got it. Everyone posts amiga articles to rec.humor.funny, bypassing
the moderator, and we nuke that group, to really piss Brad off.

Then, the amigoids post someplace else, like, say, oh, rec.scuba, and then
that group gets nuked. Then comp.sys.atari.st, which will end those
naughty X-postings. Then the mac weenies. Pretty soon there is nothing
left.

The alternate plan is to once a month feed least/most popular group
moderators to a big snake. Without stunning them first.

Forgive brad, for he knows not what he says. It's mighty cold up
there in H2O-loo, and you *know* what happens then...
