Thanks for the useful reference Sir. It made wading through the hip
deep mire of ideological advocacy and hate mongering almost worth it.

That newsgroup has very little, if any, of the conversations
you're whining about. It's like roff for wussies. You could
have subscribed to rofft, read the useful reference, removed
roff from the crossposting in your reply and posted your
first sentence only to rofft. But instead you decided to post
to roff.

Good luck with that.
