Yeah, sure, we'd all prefer it if there were only postings we wanted to read.
Can't see that ever happening though, can you?? Maybe you should set up
alt.greg.lindahl and tell everyone what they're allowed to say. I don't think
any of the handful of messages I've ever posted here have been in bad taste
or inappropriate. Me, I wish that things like the Quest Digest and other
newsletters were only posted to the people who requested them, and I
actually PAY FOR THIS MYSELF!! So it's MY money that's being
wasted by game specific postings. Personally I think there's so few
commercial game postings that I can't see any problem. I reckon you need
to take a deep breath and relax!
