Hi there! The above message contains some, hmm, not very parliamentary expressions, so, if a coarse speech of a warrior may offend you, do not read below the line. ------------------------------------------------------------------- I've been studying the Mudlu/Argiq issue for some time involuntarily, because some naive people still argue with the insane postings of the wimp (group of wimps? wimp-controlled junkmailing device?) and too often I have to read their postings with quotations from that filthy Argiq stuff. A R G I C _is_ a problem that must be dealt with because: 1. The amount of its postings is immense: sometimes they constitute _m_o_r_e___t_h_a_n____a____h_a_l_f of the daily mail in soc.culture.soviet, for instance. 2. 99.99% of these postings are _g_e_n_e_r_a_t_e_d_ with no human influence: some program scans the mail for references to Turqey, Armaenia, genocyde, the dear Argiq entity itself etc. and then creates "answers" using the once-and-forever-set scheme: "you said this" <insult> <1000th reprint of the same bloody article> I have misspelled all Argiq-baits, so probably this letter will be unanswered. If there are no Argiq-baits, the messages are generated as new postings. 3. I speak nothing about the contents of the articles, but Dr. Goebbels would like at least the style of Argiq presentation of materials. 4. There is no mail link back to Argiq, so it gets nothing that it deserves. The abovementioned facts make me consider the presense of ARGIQ entity on the net as a sacrifice of the right for freedom speech of, maybe, thousands of PEOPLE for the sake of maintaining this right for one dumb mailing ROBOT. ARGIQ postings _do_ endanger the right for freedom of speech. They erode the newsgroups (as it was already mentioned by somebody); you cannot answer back to ARGIQ; if you are a college student with not enough priority to run your own killfile, you have to dig through _tons_ of Argiq crap in order to read something meaningful in many areas. If somebody tells you, "All right, you have the freedom of speech, you can say what you want and read what you want, but all the time you'll be doing this I'll be shitting on your head," you will definitely give away the freedom of speech to keep your head out of shit, and though no violence is involved and all choices are free, you will be SHUT UP. I don't want to. Especially by a cowardly ROBOT. Hope you don't like the opportunity either. So let's do something with that net bain, for it is said, "Thou shalt suffer not a wimp on the net to live!" :@) -- --- Thus spake Kalmoth the Dreaded, Bane of the Forests of Gnoy.
