avoid such jerks, thankfully. And spammers are not allowed on them, period.
Some of us prefer interacting with intelligent, educated people who speak
(write) professionally. Moderated yahoo lists avoid the garbage that too
often appears on these usenet groups--as I'm sure you already know but
apparently refuse to acknowledge.
