VA.GENERAL was a rather pleasant newsgroup until Yacub started interjecting
his garbage into it back on October 17.

Further...some have said "take it to email"...not possible when you're
dealing with a clearly passive-aggressive like Yacub...too cowardly to post
his opinion with a real email address (his login name on ZZAPP was "zzapp1")
because one of the many people he's offended and abused would long since

These groups (va.general and dc.general) have always had hearty debates,
until someone _NEW_ enters and screws the whole thing up - until he's dealt
