>>     *****PLEASE***** this is for technical discussions on the

>Why not PHILOSOPHICAL discussions on the technology of science and 
>mathematics.

Because this group is for technical discussions on the philosophy of
science and mathematics. A lot of time and effort went into creating
this group. If you weren't around when the struggle was going on
you probably can't appreciate what a hassle we went through.

>>... otherwise, DON'T post something about philosophy or
>>pseudo-philosophy or politico-philosophy here just because it
>>has the word "philosophy" in the newsgroup name.

>Its alright for those of you that receive the other philosophy related
>newsgroups but WE DONT.

That does not justify ruining a group such as this by posting
innapropriate material. Linda, do you want to take the responsibility
for ruining this group, like previous philosophy groups have
been ruined?

When posting to a group one should try to stick to topics appropriate
to that group.

>>in fear & trembling for the future of the newsgroup,

>I understand the fear and trembling

With all due respect, no, you don't understand.
