- Mike's point is that this is a fatalist and self-defeating attitude.
- As long as the attitude toward rmgroups is "why bother?" it's sure as
- hell going to stay that way.
-
- I will continue to honor rmgroups if the group removal is justified,
- and I will continue to send rmgroup messages if a proposed group
- removal or rename is well-received. It's quite clear that the only
- reason people like Becker have any kind of "power" around here is
- because we, as system managers, have quietly given it to him by
- default.
