   Stupid statement, ignorant, too. You *should* care. That you don't care and   
   say it publicly proves you're clueless. I've noticed that you're similar in   
   certain ways to some of these free news server admins. While they have a   
   control fetish with their news servers, you have a control fetish with   
   writing your own client. Neither of you seems to be able to demonstrate   
   you're any good at what you do.   
      
   What you do with your client and what Ray does with his server does not   
   happen in a vacuum. If it did then I'd agree with you. But, it doesn't. Your   
   client spews gibberish and nonsense half the time. Ray's NSP's spews   
   censorship and hypocrisy.   
      
   Here's and example you and the others might be able to identify with since   
   you all probably work there as a fry cook.   
      
   What one McDonald's does can and does effect the entire chain. If somebody   
   finds a severed finger in his hamburger in one McDonald's it gives all   
   McDonald's a bad name. Usenet is like that. One bad server gives the whole   
   network a bad name. That's why there are standards proffered which   
   individual servers are encouraged to comply with.  Any time a corner of a   
   vast network sets up on his own with his own little anarchy and then yells   
   "ABUSE, ABUSE, ABUSE!!!" every time one or more rules peculiar to their own   
   little world is not adhered to to the satisfaction of some anal-retentive   
   geek then the entirety of the network is far more abused by it than some   
   individual user posting some sort of free speech that offends the   
   sensibilities of the anal admin of that one little corner.   
      
   What I see is the actual abuser pointing a finger at me and accusing me on a   
   small scale of what they do on a large scale. That so few others see this   
   obvious fact tells me that so few others have a brain that works.
