Actually thre is a 'usenet' to react.  The "usenet" is all of us and
if one individual is doing something on the net which is being
disruptive to the whole usenet community then the sites
providing that access to dixie.com should take action.  This is all
part of the agreements made when a site gets a feed and then becomes
a host... there is a certain amount of responsibility which goes with
that status.

I am sure if enough people complained to the site providing the news feed
to dixie.com some action will be taken.

Usenet is a privilege and NOT a RIGHT!
