If you're "tired" of them, don't read them.  The *.general news groups
are pretty much fair game.  They aren't moderated and they're a 
catch-all forum.

Everyone has the right to free speech no matter how obnoxious,
offensive, fascist or boring.    What one doesn't have is the right to
keep someone from speaking.
