Well, no personal hard feelings.
This is just a wrong newsgroup for the type of discussion we
have seen in the last couple of months.
(You may by now know Kermit in fj.net."kermit" refers to a
very robust and useful communication program
available from Columbia University and it has helped
many in the computer industry and elsewhere.
And although there is not much traffic in this newsgroup
[since the program is high quality, there are not many postings to this
newsgroup on the average.])
Kermit, for example, was used to collect election results
from various election offices across the country in Brazilian
national election several years ago.
There are many excellent examples of Kermit usage at
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/
Anyway the kind of discussion that took place here
annoyed these people looking for precious little
postings about rarely found bugs of Kermit, etc..
BTW, I wonder if webtv has its own newsgroup hierarchy.
You may want to plod the webtv operator to
offer such service.
Anyway, happy holidays and a happy new year!
The snake picture I have seen surely would have
scared the Kermit the frog!
