I could stand the MAKE.MONEY.FAST postings, really.  I've seen them so many
times they've been imprinted on my psyche and I would probably miss them if I
didn't see them from time to time.

But what gets my goat are the g.d. "I apologize" postings that invariably
follow soon after.

For future cluebies:  If you f*ck up, don't waste further bandwidth by
apologizing for it.

Obc.o.m.p.:  All future versions of news software should prevent (l)users from
posting any articles that contain "MAKE", "MONEY", and "FAST" in the subject
line.  :-)

Disagreed.  The postmaster's apology about his/her users
make.money.fast posting let us know that the matter has been taken
care of where and how it should.  What the postmaster did here was
appropriate and also rational to stem complaints.

Followups redirected to news.admin.misc where discussing this
belongs.

   All the best, Timo
