We all suffer from spam. However messages such as this are more
a public nuisance than anything else. Please consider the
possibility that your officious net-nannyism is a tedious waste
of bandwidth and an imposition on your readers. I, and I presume
many others do not read usenet for endless repetitions of little
lectures (some ill conceived) on net etiquette, which, if anybody
took it seriously, says that one should send emails to
"miscreants" (your term) rather than pollute the public venue.
Rather I, and again I suppose others, read usenet to exchange
ideas and thoughts in a collegial atmosphere.

You actually say things worth reading now and then. However the
worth of your writings are corrupted by your sophomoric
officiousness and your ill considered self promotion. (If you
must toot your own horn, it were best if you did so with fewer
false notes.)


It is interesting how this ratio varies with the time of day. The
moles seem to be most active early in the day, as measured on the
US east coast. At times I may get zero interceptions.

Please. No one is interested in your spam. And please fix your
double signatures for the umpteenth time.

Please refrain from deliberately ignoring follow-ups, and from
failing to snip sigs.

I believe that his view is that your sig is spam; quoting it is
evidence of your malfeasance.
