Every so often someone steps back from the verbal brawling that
characterizes these news groups and calls for sanity and reason.  That
anguished cry always goes unheeded.  

Possession of a computer and a modem simply allows us to broadcast our
thoughts to more people.  It does nothing to elevate the quality of
those thoughts.  It's why these newsgroups are the way they are and
always will be. Collectively, they are the babble of the mob. 

I just "mark as read" any threads with repeated postings from our
well-known nut bars or on subject matter likely to attract the flamers
and name-callers (abortion is one of those). You should do the same.
