Actually I think your being a bit overbearing.  You must realize
that not everyone has access to ALL groups.  I think this is
displaying the typical "keep out of my territory" thinking that
is prevalent in this group.

Not really they should be put into a FAQ.  Just because poeple
are discussing something you don't want to read doesn't mean you
have to play censor.  Which is by the way what you are doing,
Censorship.  I think this problem may be one of culture as well,
but that would not be appropriate to this discussion.

 BS> Come on, like grown up kids, you have to leave your parents. :)
From these words, I see this is your own personal problem, and
has relatively little to do with reality.
