==================================================
Steve...

I am sorry, but I simply cannot fathom what it is that you are trying to
impart
to the group. Are you dealing with Matthew, whose posting is full of errors
and misdirection, or are you dealing with Gus, whose sins include asking
folks
to stop their use of vulgar language (the "F" word, for example)... or what
is it
that you are trying to say. Surely, this newsgroup has been here for a long
time,
but it was put here to serve a USEFUL purpose and not to serve as a means by
some folks to blast other folks. Maybe that is what you meant. From your
post,
it is difficult to tell just exactly what it was that you did mean...

BUT, I agree with you on one thing that did come through just loud and
clear...
"It is raging again."

It is sort of funny. I tell those folks to quit cussing and they cuss all
the more.
Then they tell me that they have added me to their "kill file," whatever
that may
be. Next thing you know, they are back at it once again. Evidently, their
"kill
file" is defective.

But, Steve, I have only one goal. That is to get this newsgroup back into
the
business of promulgating Q.

Kinda tough to do when idiots keep on cussing and swearing and using gutter
language so as to drive fine newcomers away.

Think about that just a bit.

Best to you and all,
