- A) is something that can and probably will get addressed.
- B) is a problem not distinct to CRS. i've seen crap postings from alot of
- "real" news systems.

-
- CRS has been on the net for sometime now, and i think for the number of
- "BBOARD" type users they have, the amount of abuse coming from CRS
- is very low.
-
- management at CRS has been very responsive when i sent messages saying "this
- user is cutting real close to the ettiquete rules", or "this user is
- subscribing to ftp-mail services".
-
- BS commercial posts come from all over.
-
- just last month there was an idiot slogging the vitues of Amway in kw.general.
- and he was posting from UofW!
