Although general issues of social responsibility and academic
issues in the humanities are underrepresented on the net,
the issue of cross-posting is also a recurrent concern.  While
trying to read comp.ai postings (at 1200baud) I was startled
by a post-to-everybody note re:the world, politics and all and
everything.  Sometimes one may in fact need to cry, perhaps not
"fire", but "stop" in a crowded lecture hall,however...etc. etc.
"net-police"-NO, net-responsibility,-YES.
