I love the anarchy of usenet.
Personally I was glad to see it at work on this group, seemed way too
"moderated email-list" like when I first dropped in a couple of weeks ago.
Beyond the huge knowledge base on any subject it is the free style that
appeals to me.
Depending on my mood I use the killfile am just amused by the quality of the
sarcasm. A group evolves into the shape of the participants and takes on a
life of it's own.
Personally I think it pretty odd to try to enforce a set of written rules on
an unmoderated group and a waste of time playing netcop just starting more
fights than ignoring it would. A little plonkage works better.

Way to introduce myself...=)

This has been going on since I've been using usenet. Get used to it.
