You could always not read? :P Newsgroups are more a pain in the arse than
e-mail to be honest, as getting a group set up for each game that ryan
works on would be to cumbersome. If you want to discuss general BFadmin
stuff which does seem to appear on this list too much, then it should go
into forums, but the list was setup for discussion of the beta rather than
admin stuff (AIUI). There is too much off topic stuff which is why its so
noisy here.
