Not quite an ex-Navy Seal...former Army Infantry. And very married. :)

But RGCC had simply gotten too intolerable. It seems like Usenet has gotten
overwhelmed by losers like Sean. Some of the Linux and NetWare groups regularly
settle into insulting and obscene flame wars. RGCC is definitely worse than
average, though...to me, if it couldn't be moderated to squelch the freaks like
Sean and Rolf, then there was no point in even bothering to continue to read it.

It came off of my newsgroup list yesterday, right after I found out Bob was
leaving. Oh well...the signal to noise ratio is *much* higher here anyway.  :)
