Apiece.  I just looked at demon.local on dejanews and stand by my accounting.

500 to 1000 posts per day?  Not even alt.flame or the Nose gets that many
posts.  This is a gross exaggeration.

Unless you have a very wide definition of meower that means "half the
people on Usenet I don't like".

I'm not; you are mistaken in the identity of some of the people you complain
about.

My major complaint is that newsgroup flooding is going on in alt.life.sucks
and nothing has been done about it.  I think CC needs to define his nebulous
policy against newsgroup flooding, because it would seem that the complaints
he has received about it from others have not been listened to.
