Well, AVC is at it again.  I ran into them before over on bionet.jobs,
where they managed to hijack a jobs posting newsgroup specifically aimed
at biological scientists and support positions with their hodgepodge of
irrelevant listings (>300 per week) which rendred the newsgroup worthless
for those people trying to specifically identify openings in the
biological sciences (i.e. the group's stated purpose).  AVC did cease and
desist when they recieved strong (and none too friendly) response from the
bionet users.

It would appear that AVC has still not learned how to restrict their
traffic to the appropriate newsgroups.

So Ms. Schulz, here are my comments....Stay off comp.sys.apple2
