Do you have a right to bash them on soc.singles? How about
rec.camping? Or alt.humor?
M.h.a is not your personal playground, Anth. That's why newsgroups
have charters, to define what is or isn't appropriate for discussion
there. Your Pfizer-bashing is off topic. I don't care how much you
hate them or how little you trust them -- the article was off topic
for m.h.a and no weaselly explanation you give is going to change that
fact.
And while I'm taking you to task, it would be really nice if you could
learn to trim posts and stop top-posting. Or is that also outside your
feeble capabilties, along with understanding what "off topic" means?
