comp.sys.next.richposts failed by 4% (need a 2:1 ratio to
pass, got a 1.68:1 ratio).

So, until this can be brought up again (have to wait 6 months), 
comp.sys.next.misc is still the best place to put NewsGrazer RTF
posts. Maybe next time it'll pass, and the stuff goes elsewhere.

Since this failed by way of the democratic process, I think we should
all stop wasting time complaining about it, and live and let live for a
while.

Some thoughts...

(Why does one 700k MIME file that so few can read draws almost NO 
remark, yet a couple uuencoded NG posts upset so many people? At least
I can uudecode and untar the NG stuff to find out what's inside, I couldn't
do anything with that mega-multimedia post by Mark Crispin. I wonder how
many gigabytes of garbage (to use "sef" terminology) that single post 
generated all over the world? Good thing I didn't try to read THAT one
over the modem...)
