  Don't be a twit. USENET is made up of people voluntarily passing 
newsgroups and mail around, mostly at their own expense. Many sites
fail to carry many newsgroups, some more "important" than this drivel.
If you don't like it, you just go poll someone else. You don't flame 
them for doing what they're free to do. Noone is required to pay for
what they consider wasted bandwidth and considering that oddjob *has*
ten neighbors I'd say that they're doing more to hold the net together
than many other sites. I've nothing against your suggesting other routes
for the news for the downstream sites but try and be reasonable about
it, eh?
