Yep, it seems to happen in most newsgroups at times...some worse 
than others, and it is entirely each reader's privilege to subscribe and 
to unsubscribe at any time...nothing is compulsory on the Net.

I have subscribed ever since this group was created in September 1993
and it goes through these flamewars periodically. My choice is to 
stay and to ride these things out...not very enjoyable at times.

Actually right now we are not just arguing. There are some very 
important principles at stake here now involving deliberate 
distortion of newsgroup FAQ documents and the deliberate alteration 
of names and initials on ascii pictures and accrediting them falsely. 

Argument is the wrong word to use for such undesirable activities.

Bye,
