- I have no problem with what people from The Cellar post. Only with one
- individual. Which is why my Kill file contains:
-
- (gnus-kill "From" "techie@cellar.org")
- (gnus-expunge "X")
-
- I don't think blaming an entire site for one person's postings is fair, unless
- you see a number of people posting from there, which I haven't.
-
- And to be honest, I have no problem with what techie posts. I just think he
- chooses the wrong newsgroups to post in. There are appropriate places to
- discuss what he discusses. I just don't happen to feel phl.misc is one of
- them.
