Hey, Be Nice Now...
David Kaye
this seem more like a discussion of transit and transportation and less of a
Carl Rogers bash.
Okay?
Hello? Is this thing on?

Sorry, no: the guy deserves all the abuse he's been getting.
No nicey-nice here.

He does.
The other readers of the various newsgroups don't.
Perhaps the other Calrog bashers can agree on a tag to add to the
Subject: line, so those who really don't want to see it can score down
on it.

I've got a much simpler solution: why don't *you* (and others who wish
to avoid this stuff) just not read the messages in the first place? Is
that so hard? Sheesh.

Because you keep trashing up the ng with the same stuff over and over. Yes,
Carl Rogers hasn't a clue. Yes, he posts annoying things. But what's even
more annoying is the dozen responses he gets to each of his posts. Meanwhile,
people seriously interested in talking about transit and transportation are
put off and leave.

You mean you really can't just ignore this stuff? That you're somehow
*compelled* to read each and every message?
Oh, boo hoo.

Obviously that's one solution. But the usenet culture is to make it
easy for people to avoid certain sets of posts if they so desire. Thus
the convention to mark an off-topic posting with "OT", as one example.
Your suggestion is akin to suggesting to people who don't want to sit
near other Muni riders not to bathe for weeks so that nobody sits near
you. Sure, it works, but it's quite rude, and abuses the public resource.

Just his postings though, you will still get all of the replies, on the
whole though that works for me as the replies are often quite humorous.
And it is not like this froup gets a lot of traffic (pun intended).
