- No Dougie, it's the fact that you're sending the same bits over the
- wire dozens of times WHEN WE'VE ALL SEEN IT that bothers me, that
- coupled with the fact that there is indeed a better place to discuss
- this issue. We talked politics during the election campaign when
- almost every other newsgroup was also unable to avoid discussion of
- politics. If you were a regular soc.singles poster and wanted to
- discuss abortion, I might welcome your input (though I'd certainly
- argue). But as it is, you're an invader. Get the fuck out of here.
