The user e-mails we quote have their names replaced with
something meaning{less,ful}.  Apart from that, the ASR FAQ
mentions that if you don't like admins bashing you in public,
don't read ASR.

And yes, I agree that many people feel bad about this group.  And
yes, I agree that the bashing that happens there is not nice.
And yes, I agree that this posting of mine was not nice, either.

Maybe it will.  Flame wars do lead to something sometimes, as I
said in the message I posted to the list several minutes ago
(subject "Admin: proposal").  BTW, please read it, maybe you'll
like this proposal.

I'm not sure it's a followup, but I've got no copyright-related
problem with you forwarding it here, because it's on-topic.
OTOH, forwarding it to alt.ascii-art would make me feel sad.

BTW, every Usenet posting, e-mail, and basically everything you
write is copyrighted.  I only define conditions to use my words.
But the international copyright law is beyond the scope of this
list.
