I don't think you should do that any more.

I've been posting regularly to nz.general, nz.arts, nz.comp, and nz.wanted for a while now.
I've regularly posted on issues on gun control. (As well as rabid Babylon 5 discussions :-)
I'd have thought that Wayne would have noticed me by now! (Down, ego, down)
