I don't know of anybody on Usenet who has gotten to show off their sense of humor more than Brad. Do you think it possible that there might be funnier people than Mr. Templeton out there? ^RHF is _funny_. To you, maybe. ^Brad created it because he was sick of rec.humor, ^and RHF has become wildly popular. And lots of us are sick of Brad. We should create our own Brad-less group, huh? Besides, you miss the point of the whole discussion (have you read any of it?). Almost no one is saying that "Brad isn't funny"; the argument is related to Brad's attempts at such stunts as compilation copyrights and making money from books and gateways to commercial groups. If we can find someone just as funny as Brad without these controversial urges, Brad should be replaced. Or if Mr. Templeton would renounce such acts, he should be allowed to continue; if not, then he's outta here. --Ken
