*FLAME ON*
If you want to start over (I really don't give a stack overflow), do it
in net.news.group *ONLY*, not in thousands (well 3) of groups used for
technical exchange. I am sick to death of getting 'metoos' repeated
in lots of groups.  Yes, yes, yes I know about KILL files and I do
liberally use my n key, but somehow they manage to slip through.
So, please don't take the above letter as an excuse to again tell many
disinterested people that you would *love* a newsgroup that in many
sites has already been created, rather post to net.news.group.
*FLAME OFF*

Please, all flames to me directly as I did *not* intend this letter to
start exactly the type of non-technical discussion that I am complaining
about.  If I see any one using 'F' to this posting to merely add 'I
agree',  I'll send your name to every head-hunter this side of Cleveland
								:-} -----^

Sorry to bother the good people that keep these groups alive with the
sort of intelligent discussion that I read them for.
