Most of the traffic in the Cox newsgroups consists of complaints about how the 
Cox news service sucks.  I've only seen one Cox employee there, their news 
server guy, and he only hangs around to tell people that they're looking into 
it, whatever the problem of the day might be.  Make as much noise as you 
want, but unless it's a complaint about retention time in the pr0^H^H^Hbinary 
groups, nobody (not the customers, not the Cox tech) cares.

The only way you could get less care than that is to use PetitionOnline.
