Hey...choose your names carefully! Try "innocent novices unaware of what a
name change can do" instead of "clueless idiots"...unless that was a freudian
slip of the fingers of course. (Betraying your real feelings?)

[C'mon man...I thought you were "Jay Maynard Flamer Association HQ". You've
got to do better than that...you left yourself wide open...Jay'll roast you
alive if you're that careless.]

Certainly the alt.foklore people know exactly that an alt group will be
rmgrouped (and we all know how successful _that_ will be) based on an
unmoderation of a Usenet group. And this isn't even written anywhere in
guidelines or newbie docs or anything. This is a REAL BIG CLUE that people
in that group are uncommonly aware of USENET politics...unlike 80% of the 
groups out there now. 

Which proves my points about elitism exactly...or let me use a better word...
FAVORITISM. Think about it.

   Advice is priceless; when it becomes interference it is preposterous.
