Excuse me, but system admins don't always have time to take steps to
thwart the actions of vigilantes such as you, Phil and a band of other
people.  Nor should they have to do so.

As you point out, it is _trivial_ to set up your news reader to ignore
the posts of people who, in your opinion, are likely to post uninteresting
news.  Why do you feel you have to make that decision for me?  And while
we are discussing the culture of the Internet, it's not about setting up
your own internet site (which I *have* done; anyone care to buy an internet
connection for about $200 per year with more or less no (unreasonable)
restrictions?  just send me mail), it's about freedom of speach and about
having fun.  You should get off your high horse and get back to grass
roots.
