- In this type of medium, new folks pop up all the time, and haven't had
- a chance to see any 'rules' posting, etc. I'd mark it off to 'newness'.
- Polite messages in EMAIL often do more than tirading in the group. In
- direct response to your question, the traffic is now reaching more and
- more folks. The gatway is working. As more people participate, the
- chance of errant messages occuring increases. There's no more in
- here than in most groups. Again, if you have a concern, send mail
- to the person; all Fidonet posters have valid, domainized email
- addresses.
