You crosspost something to news.admin.misc and you end up dealing
with a bunch of people with attitude problems or worst.

Get a $%^&* Clue.  And dig up a copy of the guidelines.

And quit crossposting every bloody Request for Discussion to
news.admin.*, that's not what it's about.

Suggest making this a moderated newsgroup to enforce the above.
I've seen talk.abortion crossposts to sci.skeptic fercryinoutloud!

And, I don't suppose many of us C programmers are going to soon
forget the recent **IMPORTANT DISCOVERY** either.  [ DON'T ask...]

As an aside, propose a shorthand notation/summary for those of us
who are looking (Has this sort of thing been done???)  'Cause you
never know whose reading....

Pretty self expanatory.  'b' words are birth data, 'a' words are
adoption data (and hey, I'm open to expansion...), dates and locations
prefixed with `~' read "Near".  Dates are DD-MM-YY (let's not forget
we want "world" distribution).  Also suggest using the string "BIO" as
subject line for the kill-file wizards.

So, here's mine:

OK, now I have it figured out.  When I read this, I thought "What schmuck
is *actually* saying this?"

And then I figured it out!  Timothy Sheridan!  The same guy who I JUST
responded to after he told me I *HAD* to find my natural parents...or else
I'd be missing out!

Timothy, obviously you did not have a happy adoption, are highly insecure
because of it, and have made it your life's hobby to convince everyone
that they find their natural parents, because adoption sucks.
I really pity you, but keep it to yourself, your psychiatrist, or email.

 >>Adoption Is not an answer.  It is a problem for tens of millions of people.
 >>Please learn the facts.

Well, I have news for you.
I am happy, very intelligent, had a cherished, totally non-dysfunctional
upbringing, and am very glad my father taught me to point out idiocy as
soon as I see it.
