Slow is a bit harsh. In all the history of Usenet, not a single person
has ever stopped posting because other people have insisted that they
cease and desist. An uncharitable person might think people that try to
shut other posters down are slow, or thick in the head, or wasting what
little time they have left to them in this life. I prefer to think of
them as being persistent and optimistic to a degree unheard of in the
annals of human history. Sure, they might be just a tiny bit "slow" but
without them, Usenet wouldn't be half as fun - or bulky.
