| 3. What do you do when users complain about articles posted at another

|    in rec.humor that contained racist, anti-semitic, anti-homosexual,
|    foul language, and everything else.

  We have news on a few hundred machines here (commercial site), and I
can't imagine anyone admitting that they were reading a non-work
realated group, took the trouble to unrot the article, and then
complained. If it did happen I would show them how to unsubscribe.

  I mailed a detailed answer back, but I though this might be of general interest.
