"Wow."
Yeah, this is great. The 8-track-collecting newsgroup is now just a
place for people of all kinds to yell. No 8-track discussion, except Nudo and Bob beating each other over accusations of fraud. Maybe 150 posts a day, all sent to my quite-large AC8TT "archive" in GMail without so much as a bother reading the new topics' names. What happened? Why can't we just stop arguing and let those petty (and not-so-petty) problems take care of themselves, off this newsgroup? Talk about collecting 8-tracks! Act our own ages! (I'm 14, and I swear, this group is populated by five-year-olds with keyboards.) Winnard's gone because of this kind of stuff. Can't we just put everything but collecting aside? What's it gonna take? 150 posts a day about how Bob's driving Nudo insane, how bad everyone's "engrish" is, and how, generally, everything in the world sucks, and this place is the new, official ranting spot for anyone with newsgroup access who wants a go at someone else's throat. Please. Stop. |

If you'd have researched as I'd said earlier, this group was healthy and growing before Nudo showed up with his scams, frauds and misinformation. At about that time, things started the long, slow decline to what you see now. Why can't we just stop arguing and let those petty (and not-so-petty) problems take care of themselves, off this newsgroup? Talk about collecting 8-tracks! Act our own ages! (I'm 14, and I swear, this group is populated by five-year-olds with keyboards.) snip Good observation! However, someone with an infantile personality like Noodles has to be treated as such, or he just runs roughshod over everyone. Winnard's gone because of this kind of stuff. Can't we just put everything but collecting aside? What's it gonna take? snip See? Nudo ran him off, too. 150 posts a day about how Bob's driving Nudo insane, how bad everyone's "engrish" is, and how, generally, everything in the world sucks, and this place is the new, official ranting spot for anyone with newsgroup access who wants a go at someone else's throat. Please. Stop. snip Nudo goes, there's a chance the group can be rebuilt. He stays, it remains a pigstye. If Malcolm transfers the group to me, however, action will be swift. I'll convert to moderation and eliminate the cancer in one, swift cut. dB |

Good observation- as long as anyone replies to Bob's posts, this is
what will happen. Perhaps we should all just ignore him from now on, and he'll go away. |

Most of us do, and can put you there anytime we like! |

Bob, you just found out the beauty of google groups, that's obvious to
me- why worry about spam when you can read the posts online. a WWW site is better than a newsreader interface- WWW sites can get more hits due to people surfing the net what you are doing is basically engaging the group via email, well then you get hammered with all the spam and off-topic posts- they come in to you via your email that's good ? instead of bitching about spam, use the google groups option and you won't get any spam. |

Bob, if you join a newsgroup via a "newsreader", you are getting every
post delivered to your mailbox via your email. I did that once and the amount of email that came pouring in was tremendous- at least 80 emails a day. Now, you start hammering on people because you don't want to receive those emails- is arrogant and stupid on your part. Change your interface and read this group via Google online- and you won't get all the alleged so-called "spam" you always complain about. That's your own fault. Not anyone else's. Spam to you is any post by anyone but yourself. You want to wax away with long tech posts, but someone else posts one sentence and you jump all over them. Grow up and act your age. You're 65, not 5. |

This is further proof that you don't know WTF you're talking about...again...still. I did that once and the amount of email that came pouring in was tremendous- at least 80 emails a day. snip You must've been using the lamer's favorite, Microshaft Outlook. No one with half a brain uses that crap. Now, you start hammering on people because you don't want to receive those emails- is arrogant and stupid on your part. snip The only "stupid" one in this thread is you, Noodles. Ask anyone. Change your interface and read this group via Google online- and you won't get all the alleged so-called "spam" you always complain about. snip Google sucks. It's "Usenet for Idiots." That's your own fault. Not anyone else's. snip Your "fault" is that you've a room temperature IQ. Spam to you is any post by anyone but yourself. You want to wax away with long tech posts, but someone else posts one sentence and you jump all over them. Grow up and act your age. You're 65, not 5. snip Not. You're such a moron, you don't even know what a real newsreader client is, yet you denigrate them because you were dumb enough to use Microshaft Outlook, the worst attractor of trojans in the universe. STFU, Noodles...as usual. |
