Message-ID: <866@hammer.UUCP> Date: Wed, 8-Aug-84 14:10:23 EDT Article-I.D.: hammer.866 Posted: Wed Aug 8 14:10:23 1984 Date-Received: Fri, 10-Aug-84 02:15:42 EDT References: <3957@tekecs.UUCP> Organization: Tektronix, Wilsonville OR Lines: 16 I share Jan Rowell's concerns about the changing tone of this newsgroup. I can't help but notice that it is related to Rich Rosen's participation. Someone suggested earlier that we all quit responding to Rich Rosen's articles. I strongly suggest we do just that. I for one ALWAYS hit "n" when I see his name in the heading. The few times my eyes don't catch it and I see his name at the end I quickly interrupt the article and go on to something more worthwhile. That way I am NEVER tempted to respond no matter how outrageous he is; what you don't read you can't react to. I also follow this same behavior while reading net.women. Unfortunately, they are so many offensive people contributing to that newsgroup that this technique is less useful. Perhaps it's time to give up on it. -- Anne Jacko, Tektronix
