1990 May 5, Frank Korzeniewski, “Questions and Answers comp.unix.sco”, in news.groups (Usenet):The net-cop has spoken. But how do you differenciate between politicking and merely informing people about the facts under discussion. It seems to me that if *YOU* consider it politicking then it must be.

I'm not a net-cop. I only want to come up with guidelines on what is a proper post in this newsgroup. If we actually do come up with some guidelines/FAQ, I will post it periodically.
