But then we noticed, *everyone* who admitted being a parent, couldn't help talking about their kids. That's off topic here, and led to more argument than worth. If you have children, don't tell us.
Still, it's Usenet, and it's unmoderated, so there's nothing to keep you from posting here, as long as you observe the charter. But remember, it's unmoderated, so people can respond any way they like. And the responses will probably singe your hair. (Scott E.)
When the denizens of alt.support.childfree are ranting, we don't *want* to have an argument about what we're ranting about. We just want to blow off steam, or commiserate with others who might feel the same way. And since it's looked down on in our culture to complain about children or parents anywhere else, alt.support.childfree is the only place where it's accepted. Therefore, "yabbuting" is considered a particularly heinous invasion of space. (Jennie D-O'C)
Most parents would never think of posting along the lines of "geez, why don't you guys adopt?" on alt.infertility. Posting "yabbut" on ASC is the same thing.
*This* one has so many snappy responses, I refer you to http://www.eilertech.com/text/asc/when.txt . (S. Eiler)
