All from the meowers, mostly via Altopia. 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". > >>Please try to keep the players straight ... > > Please do not make assumptions I'm not; you are mistaken in the identity of some of the people you complain about. > - the meowers are responsible for the > Usenet abuse to which I refer, but the main point is that they do it via > alt.net which refuses to acknowledge this abuse. Chris Caputo is saying > one thing in public but doing nothing when it comes to action time. > 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. -- "Don't you see the peril of stalking a cat?" - Horace, sort of.
