- Considering the amount of binaries that get posted around here these
- days, I would not only be in favor of kicking the offender off Usenet
- altogether for a couple of months, but also for shutting down his/her
- provider also, since "mail filtering" to public newsgroups is
- obviously not applied there. I'm getting rather fed up.
-
- Quite simply, there are too much mistakes being made by unthinking
- people at the moment for action not to be taken. I suggest writing
- to the postmaster in question. And although I won't resort to
- using words like "dick brain", it's very much how I feel after
- receiving another one of these huge posts, especially with the
- high telephone rates that apply here in Europe.
