*You* brought on all the trouble at rec.photo.digital by yourself and
*you* are the one whining through every news* and abuse group that will
put up with you.
Now, you want Google to change policy affecting millions of users
because *one* troll got under poor widdle Lionel's skin.

There is a *reason* why people have been increasingly abandoning Usenet
for web-fora, et al, & this sort of crap is a major part of it. I've
even considered it myself, & I'm a hardcore news-junkie. The levels of
personal, professional, & RL harassment people have been receiving in
rec.photo.* have been truly mind-boggling, & I'm astounded that nobody
has yet launched legal action against Google, the mail2news gateways or
their peers.
