- Rita, thanks for the reply. If the newsgroup stuck to the issues you
- mentioned, I'd stick around, but the volume of off-topic stuff is just too
- great. I have to pay long distance rates to get this feed for my BBS, and I
- can't afford to keep paying for so much stuff that has nothing to do with
- what I was hoping to find here.
-
- If you wish to reply to me, please do it by e-mail, as I'm going to cancel
- the group and just get comp.org.eff.news. At least then I'll get what I'm
- paying for, even though it won't allow for me to participate.
-
- Thanks, Rita!
