  Yessir, just what the free-world needs, yet another massive waste of
disk space and network bandwidth.  Let's try this:

  Every anti-fether message will be posted to approximately 50,000
machines.  Assume an average of 1K per message.  So you've got
50MB _PER MESSAGE_ worldwide being taken up by drivel. 

  I needn't remind folks that the average Internet post costs several hundred
bucks (American) to distribute everywhere.  Is this really necessary,
Greg?
