It's called blaming the victim and it has been driving new folks away
from UseNet ever since any competition existed. Back in the days of
dial in BBS systems that was competition. Now web boards are
compeitition. Think about it - If you were to come to UseNet today for
the first time, would you stay or would you go to a web board where such
postings get siliently dropped by the moderator?
