I haven't even suggested talking about thinking about maybe discussing calling a vote. The issue isn't just fishies. It's how the net is/isn't going to function not only in the future but also in the here and now. We carry every single newsgroup through here. I thought that was part of the deal, good neighbors and all that. Probably 90% of what passes through here doesn't even get looked at by the 400 or so people at this site ... we move it through anyway. Picking and choosing what groups you're going to get is your business, when it's done as a class. Many sites don't carry ANY rec or ANY talk or ANY alt. Their downstream neighbors know of the limitations and either live with them or work around them. Selectively stopping individual newsgroups because YOU have a problem with them is not very neighborly. And not very good for the net either. Think of what would happen if every admin at every site decided to just carry what they felt like. Dave
