As I said to you in email, I can understand your childish crossposts
to the alt.internet.* newsgroups, but what does your vendetta against
best.com have to do with netcom.general? By crossposting the best.*
newsgroups to non-local sites you are insuring the influx of outside
crossposting into the best.* newsgroups. I assume this is part of your
petulant agenda to get revenge for perceived wrongs, but it marks you
as one who defecates in his own nest. 

It's somewhat akin to setting followups to misc.test and no more
respectable. Grow up.
