I recognise that you are too stupid and too inconsiderate to move the abortion
discussion to the appropriate newsgroup. Most other people, however, have no
desire to irritate people with crossposted articles. I've sent the same form
letter to lots of other people, and 95% of the responses have been positive.
Some of them simply hadn't noticed the crossposting, several weren't sure how
to redirect followups, and so forth.
Most people are happy to talk about abortion in the appropriate newsgroup,
and I am relying on them to make up for your idiocy. You might continue
crossposting, but (hopefully) most people who reply to you won't. Thus,
even though you are an antisocial jerk, your impact on this newsgroup will
be lowered.
As a direct answer to your question, `yes'. In fact, I'm putting together a
KILL file/RN macro/form letter kit, so that if the abortion crossposts keep up
I can make it available to everybody on trm. If 0.5% of the readers use it,
you can count on ~50 letters a day for every crossposted article -- since you
post a lot, that should work out to about 700 messages every day. Won't that
be fun?!
You have complained that people in talk.abortion discuss religion; I suggest
you take that up with the people in talk.abortion, instead of irritating other
newsgroups. None of those who irritate you are bothered by crossposting, and
the people you bother in talk.religion.misc are not the ones irritating you.

And I recognize that you are too stupid and inconsiderate to actually
READ the articles you bitch about before you send your snotty little
etiquette guide. I received your rude little note after following
up a cross-posted article. My followup was ABOUT religion, and had
NO abortion content. I left talk.abortion in the distribution because
the thread had started there, and I do not read t.r.m.
When I explained this to you in email, you did not reply.

Most people have no desire to irritate people with email giving their
personal dream of how usenet "should" operate.
>I've sent the same form
>letter to lots of other people, and 95% of the responses have been positive.
And of course, when someone explains that you are in error, you simply
ignore that.
>Some of them simply hadn't noticed the crossposting, several weren't sure how

Some of them pointed out that your email was inappropriate and unwelcome.

I do get amused by those who would have usenet exist by their own
rules.

Tons of fun, as I have no limit on my mail spool. I hope that you have
no space limit either, for the time when others will take it upon
themselves to begin sending YOU long, pompous letters detailing THEIR
Theory of Usenet.

Interesting, how someone who has just expressed pleasure in the idea that
others will be letter-bombed has such a fixation with the word "irritating".
Projecting, are we?

But email-spamming is just good, clean fun, eh?
