Well, I suppose one might construe it as unprofessional, but I did what was
necessary to get things moving again without calling names or (ahem) preaching.
Might I add, it was successful.

You could not be more mistaken.  I am not a wannabe looking for a fight on
this newsgroup, and neither is Jawaid.  He and I have the potential to deliver
a great number of things to the people who read this newsgroup, and current
events have been putting a stress on this.  Believe me, this has been private
for far too long.  The matter at hand affects everyone in this newsgroup, it
is not simply dirty laundry.

As someone who rarely has the inclination to post to this newsgroup, I
certainly don't need a lecture about jaming USENET.  I am trying to make
change and ultimately progress here, so waste your speech on someone else.
