- Look, you better read the newsgroup charters, since several newsgroups
- allow binaries to be posted, despite not having binaries in the name. If
- I must, I'll have my system detect a cancel from your site and re-issue
- the canceled article back into the stream, but understand that arbitary
- cancelation of articles is not OK, regarless of the justification. If
- you detect binaries, send a message to that person and to that USENET
- admin, instead of doing brain dead censorship.
-
- It has been a long-standing consensus among USENET Admins that a group's
- charter is followed when determining whether an article in off-topic or
- not, and that to cancel an article not your own is one of the lowest acts
- you can commit on USENET. Just because a few people said it was OK in
- some abuse group doesn't make it so. It's rude and really reflects bad
- on your character. You need to join the news-admins listserver and learn
- what responsble sites are doing about the USENET, and not go
- rabble-rousing with self-appointed net.cops...
