  I propose that the net (attempt to) set a standard such that feedback
about notes that advertise on the net do NOT respond to the offending note,
but rather start new notes.

  Right now, some unnamed service in an unnamed net.xxxx notesfile has
quite a coup going.  I read it once when it first showed up, and I've gotten
the pleasure of seeing it 5 more times from my automatic sequencer as 5
responses have come in, one at a time.  And more are likely to be
forthcoming.

  Just like TV!  I didn't like it the first time, but I get to see it again,
and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and ...

  Repetition is important to advertising, please don't help it out.
