I was under the impression that this newsgroup was built to discuss
Web Design not tidbits of fictional stories. It seems we have at least
one member here who is under a different impression.


Will someone please post here the actual purpose of thei newsgroup for
me to clarify it in my own head. If the Admin is reading this would
you please notify the people that are posting imappropriately and
remove their postings from the forum.

Thanks in advance

Usenet newsgroups do not have "members." They have "subscribers."

You seem to think this is, um, a Google Group? No, it is not. It is not
a "forum." It is a Usenet newsgroup. There is no "admin" as it is not a
moderated newsgroup. If you are displeased with the postings of one
person, why don't you use a real newsreader and a NNTP service (your ISP
may provide), and just killfile the bastahd!
