It wasn't in a Usenet article, it was in a complaint e-mail sent to a newsgroup's moderation team in response to an article rejection: "I do not agree with your decision to refuse to allow discussion in the group on this decision. Obviously you know best and do not want any input from the people who actually participate in the newsgroup. Have it your way guys, but you'll have it without me. The signal-to-noise was low enough; you've reduced it below my threshold. Watching you put your fingers in your ears and hum was the last straw." The moderators were not refusing to listen, they just did not wish to allow criticism of moderation decisions in the newsgroup itself. -- Paul W. Schleck pschleck@panix.com
