Of course, >looked at this way, I can understand the complaint about posting >poetry to tor.general. Actually, <x>.general is meant for *informational* postings that apply to the geographical area <x>. These newsgroups were probably misnamed....they should have been <x>.info. The custom is there, the literal name is just skewed. The whole thing is very silly, anyway, because if Bob really wanted people to read his stuff, he'd post it where it is wanted. Since (almost) no one wants it here, and (almost) no one reads it, one can only assume that Bob enjoys irritating others. Daniel Zappala daniel@isi.edu
