Dave: Are you seriously proposing that a person who is reading news does NOT have the right to be selective about what they read? Are you serious in proposing that a person receiving news has to read all 40+ megabytes of message traffic that passes by each day? Are *you* reading every message that is generated by every person anywhere on the net that comes through your site every day? Oh? You don't subscribe to every newsgroup on the machine? Pray tell, how is not subscribing to a newsgroup different from dropping a topic or other filtering command into a kill file? Your consistency is absolutely amazing.
