- actually, some of his associates at mta.ca have been pestering us in
- alt.transgendered for some time, mostly in the form of pseudoreligious
- rantings about how evil crossdressing is. although one of them did
- post a rather off-topic article the other day (something to do with
- candy bars, as i recall).

- irritated is more like it. part of the problem is that the group is
- partially intended for support, and when random people come in and
- behave obnoxiously it's difficult for the group to be safe enough to
- be useful for that. also, it lowers the S/N ratio, which is a problem
- in any group. the action of his associates has resulted in a general
- recommendation to killfile *@*.mta.ca...
