How would that be enforced? The Acceptable Use Policy of some anonymous news providers (notably Altopia alt.net include their intent to discipline the users who post articles to newsgroups that are contrary to the newsgroup charter. If that works, could we also update the charter to exclude any posts that I'm not interested in? That would make it much easier for me. To have the newsgroup charter amended to contain such language would require a majority vote. I vote Larry out. Bertie Larry's post is off-topic, so I've asked his service provider to close his account. It should be done by COB Monday. Excellent. Usenet will be safe once again. Bertie Is it just me or does it seem more peaceful, already? Seriously, the sun just came out and birds are chirping, for the first time today. If he only knew what a blot upon the landscape he was... Bertie |

Responsible netizen that they are, Google will promptly enforce their Terms Of Use policy. :-) Perhaps the time to consider amending the newsgroup charter to specifically exclude off-topic spam advertising.

I am not employed by them or remunerated by them in any way (other than using a half-dozen or so of their free services--gmail, Google, Picasa, a free web page, etc.). We owe them a debt of gratitude for saving the Dejanews archives and for maintaining them. Usenet isn't a big part of their business any more. There are tradeoffs involved in offering free services to all and sundry. On balance, I think the good they do far outweighs the bad. Of course, YMMV.
