There's nothing wrong with updates and improvements. I've never
opposed interesting postings.

First off, you misunderstand the nature of Usenet. If you have
something to say and it's interesting, nobody will flame you for it.

Second off, it's the users who generate the traffic. So you aren't
pointing at the real problem, if there is one.

Funny, that's what the group typically is. Someone wants to split the
group every couple of months, and lots of folks use kill-files based
on subject keywords.
