Then unless you've plonked Skywise and Matt Barrow, I think you're
engaging
in a case of special pleading. Consider this sampling found via Google's
archives:

Skywise is not worth reading, IMHO, and is in the round file. Matt Barrow
has been there before, but is currently out on "good behavior." We'll see
how long that lasts, but my bet is he'll earn his way back in, again. Last
time he was in, it was because of his stand about "all public schools suck,"
or some such line.

Periodically, I take everyone out, and see how it goes. Some are put right
back in, and some get to stay out.

I read these groups for enjoyment, and the chance that I might learn
something, by accident. g I don't feel the need to read people that tick
me off, for what ever reason.

It is kinda' like telephone sales calls. They have no right that says I
must listen to them, and the phone has no right to be answered. It is there
for MY convenience. I answer it when I feel like it, and don't when it is
not. I do answer it "most" all of the time, by the way.

So there you have it; my usenet philosophy. You may or may not agree, but
there it is. I respect your right to your views, and I trust you respect
mine.

See ya-
