net.tv.soaps first appeared here at Indian Hill yesterday. I posted an
article yesterday stating that my soap updates would start appearing here
today (May 10). Actually, I don't give a damn whether or not you zap
this newsgroup. It was not created for my convenience. It was created
for the convenience of the net.tv readers who didn't wish to see my soap
updates (I believe I am the author of the majority of the *offensive*
articles). But, since the newsgroup has been created, don't zap it before
the newsgroup has even propagated across the net!
According to my estimates, at 2 articles per day, 5 days a week, 52 weeks
a year, this newsgroup will have 520 articles in a years time. That
is a volume of traffic at least twice that of net.tv.drwho. And that
is assuming that no one besides me posts here.
Look, I understand that someone has to monitor the goings on of the
net, but why should this newsgroup be subjected to tighter restrictions
than many others (e.g. see Rich Rosen's articles on specialized
newsgroups).
In other words, GET OFF OUR BACKS!!!!
