nothing i have posted in this place sci.chem has been "off topic" in any manner.
i -am- a chemist and have a chemical viewpoint.
my cosmological worldview is a chemical one.
i have posted some duplicate messages here as of late
all of my posts are being anonymously hidden in the gurgle archive.
no mention from anyone as to why they are being hidden is ever given.
i realize that the gurgle archive is not the only place these posts appear, but they ae housed there for a long time and i have just as much right to post here without interference as anyone else.
i will post reposts again if i see that they are being hidden in the gurgle arhive.
i may flag some of those as "Repost"
it is not my interest to annoy people.
i think my posts are topical and relevant.
if anyone would like t tell me otherwise, i may even liste to what they have to say.
but there is a comprehensive storyline here
and not one that constantly refers to specific reaction sequences.
chemical engineering does not always refer to reaction sequences as we saw lately with the person who was having problems with oil in their compressed air.
that was not, stricly speaking a problem of reaction mechanism but one of an engineering nature.
please excuse me as i carry out my feud
with the mad post flagger at gurgle groups.
yes, i mention "God"
this is not at all uncommon even in the sciences.
Gregor Mendel was a christian monastic.
etc. etc . etc.
i will post some of my posts again, and again, and again.
i do -not- do so to raise people's ire.
i do so because i feel they have relevant information in them.
if ifeel like posting messages -about- "God"
i will do so, and if they are flagged atguglegroups
i will postthem again, and not feel that i am being "abusive" in any manner.
there, i've given a brief explanation of my actions...
feel free to ignore my posts
feel free to confront me on any of them.
feel free to flag them as abusive on gurgle groups...
and i feel free to repost them if and when i so desire.
thank you.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemistry Subdisciplines
Chemistry is typically divided into several major sub-disciplines. There
are also several main cross-disciplinary and more specialized fields of
chemistry.[50]
Analytical chemistry is the analysis of material samples to gain an
understanding of their chemical composition and structure. Analytical
chemistry incorporates standardized experimental methods in chemistry.
These methods may be used in all subdisciplines of chemistry, excluding
purely theoretical chemistry.
Biochemistry is the study of the chemicals, chemical reactions and
chemical interactions that take place in living organisms. Biochemistry
and organic chemistry are closely related, as in medicinal chemistry or
neurochemistry. Biochemistry is also associated with molecular biology
and genetics.
Inorganic chemistry is the study of the properties and reactions of
inorganic compounds. The distinction between organic and inorganic
disciplines is not absolute and there is much overlap, most importantly
in the sub-discipline of organometallic chemistry.
Materials chemistry is the preparation, characterization, and
understanding of substances with a useful function. The field is a new
breadth of study in graduate programs, and it integrates elements from
all classical areas of chemistry with a focus on fundamental issues that
are unique to materials. Primary systems of study include the chemistry
of condensed phases (solids, liquids, polymers) and interfaces between
different phases.
Neurochemistry is the study of neurochemicals; including transmitters,
peptides, proteins, lipids, sugars, and nucleic acids; their
interactions, and the roles they play in forming, maintaining, and
modifying the nervous system.
Nuclear chemistry is the study of how subatomic particles come together
and make nuclei. Modern Transmutation is a large component of nuclear
chemistry, and the table of nuclides is an important result and tool for
this field.
Organic chemistry is the study of the structure, properties,
composition, mechanisms, and reactions of organic compounds. An organic
compound is defined as any compound based on a carbon skeleton.
Physical chemistry is the study of the physical and fundamental basis of
chemical systems and processes. In particular, the energetics and
dynamics of such systems and processes are of interest to physical
chemists. Important areas of study include chemical thermodynamics,
chemical kinetics, electrochemistry, statistical mechanics,
spectroscopy, and more recently, astrochemistry.[51] Physical chemistry
has large overlap with molecular physics. Physical chemistry involves
the use of infinitesimal calculus in deriving equations. It is usually
associated with quantum chemistry and theoretical chemistry. Physical
chemistry is a distinct discipline from chemical physics, but again,
there is very strong overlap.
Theoretical chemistry is the study of chemistry via fundamental
theoretical reasoning (usually within mathematics or physics). In
particular the application of quantum mechanics to chemistry is called
quantum chemistry. Since the end of the Second World War, the
development of computers has allowed a systematic development of
computational chemistry, which is the art of developing and applying
computer programs for solving chemical problems. Theoretical chemistry
has large overlap with (theoretical and experimental) condensed matter
physics and molecular physics.
Other disciplines within chemistry are traditionally grouped by the type
of matter being studied or the kind of study. These include inorganic
chemistry, the study of inorganic matter; organic chemistry, the study
of organic (carbon based) matter; biochemistry, the study of substances
found in biological organisms; physical chemistry, the study of chemical
processes using physical concepts such as thermodynamics and quantum
mechanics; and analytical chemistry, the analysis of material samples to
gain an understanding of their chemical composition and structure. Many
more specialized disciplines have emerged in recent years, e.g.
neurochemistry the chemical study of the nervous system (see
subdisciplines).
Other fields include agrochemistry, astrochemistry (and cosmochemistry),
atmospheric chemistry, chemical engineering, chemical biology,
chemo-informatics, electrochemistry, environmental chemistry,
femtochemistry, flavor chemistry, flow chemistry, geochemistry, green
chemistry, histochemistry, history of chemistry, hydrogenation
chemistry, immunochemistry, marine chemistry, materials science,
mathematical chemistry, mechanochemistry, medicinal chemistry, molecular
biology, molecular mechanics, nanotechnology, natural product chemistry,
oenology, organometallic chemistry, petrochemistry, pharmacology,
photochemistry, physical organic chemistry, phytochemistry, polymer
chemistry, radiochemistry, solid-state chemistry, sonochemistry,
supramolecular chemistry, surface chemistry, synthetic chemistry,
thermochemistry, and many others.

Calling your posts off topic spam in this newsgroup is truth. You are violating posting guidelines for this newsgroup. This is not your personal blog. This newsgroup is for discussion of chemistry news.
If you accidentally actually talk about chemistry, *I* am not flagging them. I didn't even bother when you posted over and over under the same title. I could at least see if there was something interesting that had been posted by someone that was less of an "artist".

Your off topic posts are spam according to posting guidelines. No opinion required, however apparently others agree with me.
Either you stick to one thread title, so I can easily ignore your off-topic musings, or reporting continues.

posting guidelines that you won't show and quite likely are peculiar to your own personal opinion of what constitutes topicallity,.
for instance, you seem to feel that posts -about- topicallity are "on topic" when some people may feel that such posts -about- "topicallity" are not "on topic"
so, you can already see that your opinion of "topicallity" is questuionable.
of course, in -your- mind, -anything- you post
is automatically "on topic"
fine.
> No opinion required,
except your opinon has weaseled its way in to your ow personal "guidelines"
guidelines which you allude to but are, apparently, unable to produce for inspection by anyone else.
> however apparently others agree with me.
a consensus of opinion is still a stack of opinions
maybe this is why you feel that my posts are not ontopic
because you have failed to distinguish the differentce
bewteen fact and opinion, a thing they teach elementary
school children and a thing adults should not have
such difficulty with.
this problem of yours is seeping its way in to your
opinions about what constuitutes "good science" no doubt.
> Either you stick to one thread title,
so, -you'd- be comfortable with me posting all of my posts as "Timothy Sutter post" jut so -you- could manage to ignore them,
when you -could- simply see my name attached to a post and manage to ignore based on this criterion alone.
i'll not title all of my posts as "Timothy Sutter post" to plase anyone.
> so I can easily ignore your off-topic musings, or reporting continues.
you can easily ignore all of my postings with out
such constrictions on my posting titles.
and you can "report" things to your little heart's content
and, as i see fit, i shall continue to repost any post that i see disappear from the google archive that i saw fit to post as topical in the foirst place.
you may do well to flag your own posts in this thread
except of course, if you grant yourself the allowance
of posting -about- what constitutes topicallity into an open forum.
=some= people will likely feel that posts -about- topicallity are better dealt with via e-mail.
but, of course, you have your very own criterion for
topicallity and you demand that everyone else adhere to your personal and peculiar criteria which you
have not yet made public.

at least it's been made obvious someone is flagging my posts at gurgle and says so in public not affiliated with gurglegroups.
i'm quite aware that what gurgle does with its "archive" is irrelevant to other usenet outlets.
fine, but, if and when i see fit to repost posts that have been hidden at this "archive"
i shall do so.
i must give those idle minds and their idle hands something to do.
this is quite olde, 1999, but, as you can see,
sci.chem is unmoderated and covers the discussion of all scientific aspects of chemistry and that there is no Charter that would define topics for discussion in the group.
like i have said, my posts are chemically related
as i consider that chemsitry, also called
"the central science" is related to a mountaion
of information and not just what John Smith or
the writers of this particular FAQ may suggest.
one point being;
I do not consider my posts "off topic"
if I considered my posts to be "off topic"
someone may have a -reason- to call them "abusive"
Sci.chem is an unmoderated discussion group, and it covers the
discussion of all scientific aspects of chemistry. It is not intended to be an educational resource that replaces your local library - which should
still
be your first port of call when seeking information. Because sci.chem
was created in the 1980s, there is no Charter that would define topics for discussion in the group, however common sense suggests that posts should
be focused on aspects of chemistry not discussed elsewhere on Usenet. Newer groups in the hierarchy do have Charters.

Please do not post messages complaining about what you perceive as noise
in the group, as such posts usually just generate additional noise. If you
wish,
you can email posters asking them to desist from posting the material
that offends you, but don't be surprised if you are also offended by their responses.
Some news-reading software can not display, or post, long articles (
like this FAQ ), and you may have to ask your system administrator or ISP for alternative software. A consistent inability to display large posts is usually a problem with your reading software, not a mistake by the
posters.

Choose a newsgroup on topic for evoluton, and post there. Never hear from me again, if you only post there.
Please note that usenet postings are government property, are admissible in court, and can be used against you in a court of law. Not sure, but I think an applicant's postings have been used to squash a job offer as well.

too late, i already posted this;
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sci.chem/IsAOmxO38dU/4gbgu8aQySEJ ========
this is quite olde, 1999, but, as you can see,
sci.chem is unmoderated and covers the discussion of all scientific aspects of chemistry and that there is no Charter that would define topics for discussion in the group.
like i have said, my posts are chemically related
as i consider that chemsitry, also called
"the central science" is related to a mountaion
of information and not just what John Smith or
the writers of this particular FAQ may suggest.
one point being;
I do not consider my posts "off topic"
if I considered my posts to be "off topic"
someone may have a -reason- to call them "abusive"

i don't need to do such a thing, my posts are already
topical here where i ampostingthem -now-

not worried about hearing from you again

well, now you have a career ahead of you
seeking to have me prosecuted for my posts.

this because the relevance of some of my posts in this area,
are assisted the others to show a contiguous line of reasoning
but, they are still all perfectly well "topical" as stand alone items.
but, as i have said, i am still willing to confine
myself to a smallernumber of threads,
but, if all of my posts are automatically flagged,
which they were for a while,
i shall continue the exercise in futillity.
exercises in futility, in themselves,
being "topical" in a chemistry forum.
you -should- become acquainted with exercises in futility,
