And you think that sort of comment makes your opinion welcome here?

I haven't used usenet news for a few years, and I am shocked by the loss
of quality over there. Certain technical groups used to be very much on
the level of politeness and respect, our mailing lists reflect. If this
is what we can expect if we encourage more ISP's to carry our lists,
then I am strictly for "discouraging". Maybe our goal should not be to
make the PostgreSQL lists available by default on every news server.
