It's been a while now, and its beginning to get on my nerves.
There is *far too much* cross-posting in comp.sys.amiga.{advocacy, misc}.
Worse, many topics drift into .misc after a few days or weeks in .advocacy.
Sometimes they even drift to .programmer.

Some recent examples:

Re: Commodore in Violation of SEC Rules
Re: Ideas for new Amigas
Re: The Marc N. Barrett Invisibility Project

If you are going to answer: learn about kill-files, think twice. There is no
kill-file solution that allows one to read .misc regularly, without these
crossposted threads, and .advocacy from times to times without loosing
messages. Once you've killed the crossposted articles, you won't see them
again.

Please control yourselves, check the Newsgroups: line.
