- Hey, I might quibble with some of the other names he suggested too, although
- my name was among them. However, I would not object if he submitted his own
- name to the nomination list.
-
- Anyway, I think a talk.abortion.moderated (or a talk.abortion.no-flames) is
- a GREAT idea!!! But I'm sorry to say I don't have the time to moderate it
- myself, so I wish to withdraw my name from nomination. However, if such a
- newsgroup were to appear, I would probably unsubscribe to talk.abortion and
- solely read that one instead. I spend alot of time simply dumping out
- of articles that have reduce themselves to nothing but flames. I find them
- exceedingly boring. Even when they're addressed to me! I know alt.flame was
- originated to contain flames, but they just runneth over anyway.
