Re: Banner ads on the List

[Marvin <physchem...>]

With many others, I abandoned the alt.music.jewish newsgroup after it was
repeatedly invaded by anti-semites (and also some anti-christians!), sex
ads, and other off-topic postings.  If  Drashek could say his piece, on
topic, without the off-topic ads, I don't think anyone would object.  He
presumably knows that several of us are offended, but he keeps on doing it.
It isn't what he says, its how he packages it.  Should we now have a
discussion about e-mail chutzpah?
