I'd like to take this opportunity to propose an addendum to newsgroup
etiquette... keep in mind I'm not taking a dig at you, Moshe, or anybody
in particular, just an annoying-as-hell trend...

Could we define a standardized header flag for netiquette copping and 
price copping ?  Everybody has a different view on this, but personally
I find the inevitable response to somebody who doesn't wrap their lines
or posts a binary to a text NG to be INFINITELY more annoying to have
to read than the offensive message itself.  I propose [NCop] and [PCop]
flags in the headers of such followups, so that people who feel the way
I do can filter them. 

Discussion ?
