Thankyou very much for posting this topic. I have to advise
that  you have posted to a special newsgroup set up by
the previous Conservative Government and maintained by the 
NuLabour Government to plug the gaps created by 
the abysmal failure of the Psychiatric Care in the Community Policy. 
This policy was implemented by the last Tory Government and 
was  not only continued but also maintained and expanded
by this NuLabour Government. 
 
The uk.local hierarchy was devised to provide an outlet for
individuals who would otherwise be spending their days sitting
at home wearing an aluminium foil hat waiting for a full moon
to rise. It was hoped that this would reduce the incidence
of nutters out there howling at the moon and frightening the
shit out of their neighbours. Another of HMGs aims and 
objectives was to provide a distraction to take their minds
of the problem of who they were next going to knife to death.
Unfortunately, this group has been taken over by the 
articulate lower middle classes who have succeeding in 
driving HMGs target audience away. Independent research has
shown that it was the amount and quality of the inane drivel,
called small talk which the middle classes are adept at, which
had the effect of doing their heads in. They left to protect what 
was left of their sanity. This has happened to the whole of uk.local.
hierarchy.  This newsgroup in particular is a very good example 
of another HMG failure. It is hoped that posts like yours may
encourage the "owners" of this newsgroup to return.

I trust this post will help guide you in your future dealings with this
newsgroup. 

Thank you.

PS. Keep up the good work.
