Thanks to StarTraveler, I'm suddenly finding myself in favor of cancels.

I've never felt that way before.

But this jerk has seen fit to start cross-posting his argument into tx.general
and dfw.internet.providers, where it clearly isn't appropriate.

I suspect the way the cancels started in the first place was that he started
spamming newsgroups and someone tried to moderate a newsgroup so that it would
be useful, instead of full of crud.

Posting 10 off-topic messages a day, cross-posting to multiple off-topic
newsgroups - yeah, I'm about ready to figure out how to run a cancel-bot of
my own, and clear this garbage out of the newsgroups I'm trying to read.
