Why don't you folks take this discussion of cable TV whatever and keep 
the discussion in selective newgroups that might possible give a dam and 
delete the names of groups that don't give a fuck. And If you don't like 
my language, I don't like seeing this discussing taking up space in the 
Zeos computer group and the bionet group. Give me a break. It doesn't 
take a rocket scientist to see that it doesn't belong in 30 groups.
