Do you really think he was that out of line? Come on, he posted to 
fairly sensible newsgroups where talk of Bill Gates is fairly regular. 
Not all of them were sensible. I know this, please don't point out the 
soc.russian group. Judging solely from the response I have seen, there 
has been generally good reaction to his post.

I agree. Although I do not feel that freedom of speech should be impaired by
preventing people from speeking their minds on the newsgroups, there is a certain
amount to etiquette to follow.  Almost any newsgroup FAQ/etiquette note will
ask that you not post non-related articles.  There is a certain sense of
'manners here'.  If someone was talking too loud in a movie theater or other
public place, I think it would be perfectly acceptible to ask them to 
'be quiet/shut up'.  If so many people want to read about Bill Gates baby 
then start a new newsgroup.  I for one don't give a rat's ass.

Hey, what's your problem? If you don't want to know, then don't read
it. If it's in your way, use another news reader, so you can select
what to download and what not.

I saw some suggestions that made me laugh. Though not specifically a
Gates- of MS-hater, I liked it. 

have fun!

I will make this post short:

*  Please terminate this thread.

*  Flames belong in advocacy groups.

*  Cross-posting is a waste of net resources.

*  Have some consideration for the folks who'd rather not read
junkmail spamming across the newsgroups.

			Thank you.

Not that I like this guy or anything, but if you find these posts so
disturbing, don't read them. It's like if you don't like whats on TV
don't watch it. Your moaning and gretching about what he does is
almost as anoying as what he does. (and takes as much bandwidth) Just
ignore him, he will go away! Sorry, I just couldn't keep my mouth shut
anymore!

Yes, the massive cross posting is completely out of line.  People read
newsgroups
to find info about their systems or their interrests, not to read jokes about
Bill Gates' baby's name.  If we wanted to see that then we would probably be
following one of the already existing jokes newsgroups.

I'm tired of this kind of lame-ass logic that defends obnoxious spammers.
I suppose if some telemarketers kept interrupting you during dinner and
the early evening, you would say, "I don't mind - if I don't want to know,
I'll just hang up"? There's a difference between someone's expressing
opinions and being in your face.

Whoopie. Join us in alt.fan.bill-gates and get a whole bunch of laughs.

You miss the point, IT HAS NO PLACE IN A LINUX NEWSGROUP! The noise level is
high enough already. It's called net etiquette, something that's being
forgotton. Post in the appropriate place like a window newgroup

cross-posting.  At this point, I don't care.  Everyone else is doing it.

Um, yeah.  'Nuff said on that one...  So stop it.

Yeah, so is Steve Boursey.  I'm not sure if that's the correct spelling of
his name, but I don't really give a flying fuck.

Well, it certainly doesn't help.  Mr. Boursuck accuses people of trying to
harrass him.  I've tried.  None of these idiots listen.

Same with Mr. Bourdom.  He really fucks things up for the rest of us.

Sure.  And will you also tell me that pigs fly?

Well, you haven't seen all the e-mail directed to these cross-posting
idiots, either.
