This a rather interesting post. 

If you have Killfile, use it. If not use Willfile and don't read the
posts. You can't control the traffic on the road in here, tho' you 
seem to want to. 

What interests you in man.general? What threads are you following in
man.general?

I checked out man.general to see what folks out there like to talk about.
Well, I found 30 threads in that newsgroup. If you delete the abortion
threads and the "Amero Gang" threads, postings, you are left with the
following:

A Rememberance Day QUIZ
PCS DIRECT...RIPOFF ARTISTS
Top 10 Christmas Carols on Parliament Hill
It's Time for Can to join the USA

... and even in the last thread there is an "Amero Gang" posting.

That's quite the provincial newsgroup.

I did find an old post in DejaNews IRT Censorship from the University
of Manitoba, posted to man.general. I was rather surprised to find a
picture of a body part that supposedly belongs to me, Barbara Amero.

Since Jay-north is concerned about what people and young people 
in particular are being exposed to in these general newsgroups,
I have censored the above picture for sensitive viewers. And
I trust that Jay-north will be making a complaint to and about
Dr. Vladimir Il'ich Fomin <fomin@shell.thecia.net>. Therefore,
I will not bother to make a complaint to and about him. I assume
the Dr. is a him, since generally it is only men who use the
word "cunt" and "faggots" in these general newsgroups.
