When we pushed Ross on the actual *Usenet* shareware issue, i.e.,
whether the core groups should carry it, he more or less said 'oh well,
yeah on that part of it I guess I don't care.'  Which means all the rest
of this is just CIS-lookalike opinion exchange more appropriate to
talk.misc than to comp.sources.d.

It is apparently impossible to convince some BBS exiles that not every
*single* opinion under the sun is appropriate material for a newsgroup
like this.  In practice, only suppressing the urge to follow up will
get us anywhere on this one.  (I failed to suppress... :-) )

By the way, how *DO* I chat the sysop on this board?
