- Sure they are. Of course, I really don't care if every other site in
- the country decides never to honor an "rmgroup". All I care about is
- my site. If it makes sense to honor an "rmgroup", I do honor it. If not,
- it stays.
-
- These people who engage in newgroup/rmgroup "wars" are only fooling
- themselves. They aren't doing anything here and I suspect they aren't doing
- anything anywhere else, except making a wee bit more traffic on the net than
- say that of a small GIF.
-
- But if it keeps them busy, it's probably worth the extra traffic. Think of
- the shenanigans they would get into if they weren't keeping themselves busy.
