Newsgroups: comp.os.minix View this article only Date: 1993-05-10 07:21:37 PST I agree with a previous poster - If you have no use for anything JMonroy says, exercize (sp?) your right not to read his posting. Put him in your kill file. Easy. I generally do not approve of censorship. Some say that he is wasting bandwidth, but I have not seen much useful (or MINIX) stuff coming from many other people, either. Like all the BS about flowchart symbols...Or whether or not Windows is an OS or just a fancy DOS app. So let's collectively chill - and load your kill files if you feel you must.
