	And you do too.

>Shouldn't unneighborly conduct on the net be discouraged?
	Yes.

>Shouldn't this barrage of crossposting cease?
	Perhaps.  I didn't see the original article but calls for
discussion of new news groups are often cross posted to many groups
under the impression that folks in those groups will be interested in
the new group.  In this case the poster may have been under the
impression that talk.bizarre habitants were interested in British
culture.

>Shouldn't we stop propagating talk.bizarre?
	No.  If they are willing to annoy the net for a cheap thrill
they may go ape if their toy is taken away.  One thing USENET is not
about is good manners.  If the anarachy bothers you, you can pay good
money for a well managed and civilized venue.

>QUIT

	Please!
