- He doesn't waste nearly as much network resources as the people who flame him.

- If you can't stand him, ignore him! That's your right. But don't contribute
- to the general noise level of the newsgroup. Here's an excerpt from the
- "Rules for posting to Usenet" FAQ that is posted periodically to the
- news.announce.newusers newsgroup:
-
- Some newsgroups are intended for discussions and some for announcements
- or queries. It is not usually a good idea to carry on discussions in
- newsgroups that are designated otherwise. It is never a good idea to
- carry on "meta-discussions" about whether a given discussion is
- appropriate -- such traffic mushrooms until nobody can find articles
- that belong. If you are unhappy with what some user said, send him/her
- mail, don't post it.
-
- Flaming JW is a "meta-discussion" topic. As is this message :-) .
