I see your point. I would respectfully suggest that

1) In general, arguing with people about whether a particular post
is an
acceptable one for a group is counter-productive and certainly on
this
occasion the number of posts and contributors on this thread would
suggest
that enough people *in this NG* find it interesting to make it
acceptable.

2) In particular, UKR has a very high S/N ratio and does not need
your (no
doubt well-intentioned) attempts to police it.

I would welcome the thoughts of other posters.

Ultimately, every newsreader has an 'ignore thread' button. It is
your friend, use it wisely...
