Um, when one is involved in a group in society, usually there are rules set
which enhance the system for use by others. Take a neighborhood civic group for
instance, which doesn't allow parking large vehicles on the street. First, it
enhances the view and second it removes an inconvenience when driving.

So what do you think deletion of trailing messages and old stuff has to do with?
Think of the archives my friend. Have you ever tried searching an archive for a
topic only to find 12 thousand incidents of your keywords -- and only 6 messages
were pertinent due to sloppy "netiquette"?

We're here to help each other. Think of it as a soup kitchen (free stuff) for
synth users. Don't throw your trash on my cardboard box, if you don't mind.
