I think you guys are all targeting the wrong area here. If you really don't want to see this kind of thing on the net, try flaming the people who sent the jokes in to Brad in the first place. If rec.humor.funny goes away (or has its charter changed, or whatever) these same people will still be posting the material you find objectionable in rec.humor, which is not moderated. And they might not even bother to rotate it. It's called attacking the problem at its source, not at the easiest-to-reach place. Note that this argument is independent of whether or not I personally object to the material in question. --Greg
