   My response moments ago to Frank pretty much covers how I feel about it.

   Happy New Year to you too.   
      
   For decades, I have responded to others exactly as they respond to me.   
   If you're respectful of me, I'm always likewise fully respectful of you.   
      
   That promise extends to everyone. It always has been that way.   
   The newsgroup benefits from all of our technical contributions.   
      
   For example, we answer questions, we test apps, we test out Google's and   
   Apple's WPS systems, we suggest modifications, we write tutorials, etc.   
      
   We all add value to the technical knowledge level of this newsgroup.   
      
   All that greatly added value is not found in the header, but in the body.   
   Like a gift is wrapped, where the value isn't in the pretty wrapping paper.   
      
   While the privacy goal is to munge the meaningless headers, if anyone can't   
   figure out my posts in ten seconds, they have no business being on this ng.   
      
   The privacy goal is to be harder to find by robots, not by actual people.   
   --   
   My goal on these Usenet newsgroups is to teach, learn and to help others.
