Then people started to get cute, and now that returned fire is a bucket a drop they complaints like bitches on the rag.  Not surprised, but not SPAM either.  If anyone pull a newsgroup into his email that's his doing, not mine.

A polite post at last. How refreshing.  

That would be two off-topic posts I submitted.  All the replies to it were also off-topic, so it can't possibly be such a big crime.

Say that too to the imbeciles who jumped from the woodwork and made any swamping I may have caused much worst.  

The reaction has been far worse than my action.  This stems from regular posters of a newsgroup developing a sense of entitlement and turf, which is purely imaginary.  This is a public place and everyone has the tools to ignore posts and posters.  They just wanted to play and mock and got burned.

I just needed to save some code and there was no email at hand, I use this because it's a group I am familiar with, alt.test sounds like a better option.  

Thanks
