I am asking a serious question. When will those posts go
away?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

It's annoying me as they are hindering my ability to see my REAL
posts.

I feel like infecting hip-crime with trojan horse that will steal all
their info -- including credit card numbers -- and give it to the rest
of the world. I want to burn hip-crime with oxyacetylene flames and
cause them grave-suffering. I want to burn the skins of whoever runs
hipcrime. I want to turn their skins into white foam by thermally-
denaturing their skins with oxyacetylene flames. I hope someone --
with less control over their anger than me -- sets hipcrime's
personnel on fire and gives them a slow, painful, yet sure way out of
existence.

RESULT
remove comp.sources.hp48

The Big-8 Management Board has decided by consensus to remove the
newsgroup comp.sources.hp48. Voting began on 01 Jul 2006, and ended on
02 Jul 2006.

This group will be removed on 07 Jul 2006.

SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION:

There were no objections to the removal of comp.sources.hp48

RATIONALE: Remove comp.sources.hp48

The last approved message was in November 1993.

There are other more suitable means of distributing program sources,
so comp.sources.hp48 is not a suitable candidate for conversion to an
unmoderated newsgroup.

HISTORY:

The newsgroup comp.sources.hp48 was created in July 1991, with the first
approved message in July 1991.
