Subject: Not a threat, *a promise*

With all the talk of threats, why don't we make this into a 
newsgroup, and various other topics that some enjoy but 
others don't, I propose to make a little teeny weeny change
in how this whole list works.  First, make it a dual list
server/newsgroup.  So you can read it in whatever program
you want, threaded, steel belted, sorted, whatever.  But the
magic of this proposal is the sorting.  You see, each message
will be automatically sorted into separate areas, using a complex
algorithm that I have designed using ancient techniques handed
down from father to son in my family, back from when my ancestors
first crawled from the primordial slime, oh a generation or two ago.

These methods incorporate fuzzy logic, astigmatic logic, neural
networks, the Taguchi method, Total Quality Management, wavelet
transforms, and just about every other buzzword I can think of.
Everyone will be subscribed to all groups to begin with, except 
for those folks from AOL, since I figure I gotta give them a 
challenge, just to make sure the GUI hasn't sapped all their
wiley ways.

When you get tired of a certain subject, you can just remove it
from your access list, quick, simple, no threats of bodily harm
or actually having to meet someone face to face.

Here's a list of the groups that we should start with, with more
groups added at a whim.  Presented as their USENET names.

And to those who don't like this idea?  Well, my sorting program
will make sure you are forced to read every message in all caps 
and *all* subscription messages.

Please feel free to add groups.  I wanna hear from you.
