The silly thing is that by making arf12s unusable, it forces the people

they were originally complaining about to continue posting arf12s type

material on arna on into the future, instread of retiring to their own

newsgroup. That's really dumb, isn't it. Oh well, modern recovery

alternatives will continue to get a higher and higher media profile as time

goes on. It is an idea whose time has come, and no angry 12 steppers will

be able to stop it, no matter what they do. Some things are, by their

nature, unstoppable. By clogging up the arf12s newsgroup they have

literally forced the stuff to continue to appear in their own ng. I think

this is what is colloquially called " shooting yourself in the foot " .
