This is getting pretty lame....it never ceases to amaze me how some people
can be so self-righteous, and never once consider their own feet of clay.
To the individual responsible for this report: Because of your action in
this matter, I have lost all the tremendous respect I once held for you.
You asked recently "You have no idea who I am do you"? The answer, sad to
say is, yes - and now I know what you are too.

How nice!!! You get to "netcop" and it's fine. Your defense is that the
"news servers and ISP's make the decision, not me". Hmmm...I smell hypocrisy
here.
As is often the case, ISP's and news services do not really investigate.
They do not really have the time. The expedient thing to do for many of them
is to simply shut down the account.
This is obviously what happened here. I hope that others will see that
point.

What has been the one thing I have been arguing about on this group? Come
on! Think!
Netcopping and trigger finger abuse complaints. That's it.
I don't post messages in reply to Gangles music or mustard. I don't argue
with him over these posts. (Why should I?) The point was that these posts
take up bandwidth just like any other and that was in reply to Dollfaces
argument that one reason for abuse complaints was to help people that pay
for access by the minute.
Think!

If we want to throw around wild accusations, I can join that party (and in
response to CD above did just that).
But as I have said several times, I have no problem with Gangle. Never have.

What better way to churn animosity towards the person you love to hate than
to netcop Gangle and then accuse someone else?
Just as murderers usually know their victims and rapists usually know their

I post here only a little, lurk/read a lot. I don't know all the
facts/personalities, BUT...IF there isn't room on a group like this
for some humour/diversion/etc, then what's the use? Are we a stodgy
bunch of old fuddy-duddies bent on staying the true course no matter
what, or are we human beings? I've spent a lot of time on a lot of
electronics/technical/music newsgroups, and there's always room for
some humour and diversion, and there's always someone who'll gently
but firmly lead the thread back to its origin rather than go running
crying to some paper-tiger, power-tripping netcops. Hopefully this was
on-topic; like many, my work depends upon my ability to use the
internet, and I wouldn't want some malcontent messing with my
livelihood.
Tom
I know I'm gonna get flamed for this point of view and anyone who has
watched this group for a while knows it as well.
OS has been very controlled throughout this and many other flamewars (small)
in this ng and I can hardly see him playing by cd's rules.
I don't however, think that cd is necessarily the one responsible for the
demise of gangle as he had been in verbal battle more than a few times in
the past couple of weeks.

Whats really at the root of this whole thing?. I havent even seen that
mentioned yet (for what it is).
The fact is, the off topic stuff prompted someone, or possibly several
people to make a complaint. And my point with that is.... whoever,
whichever individual, prompted it, ought to assume responsibility FOR it.
If for nothing else to put a stop to this kind of crap that ensues and
detracts from everyone that needs help on this particular day. By its
nature, whether it is defensible in any respect (the off topic stuff), the
fact still remains with what is it that initiated the whole bru ha ha.
Without it, there is nothing else.
It seems to me there are several people who read this group, who never say a
word. And I can see why. The chances of being intimidated are very high.
You see it every day. I see a propensity by a few, to project some pretty
snarly attitudes at even the slightest opportunity, even the rude sigs imply
it, toward any unknown that even dares to open their mouth for help. I
never have, personally, been one to control my tongue...even when it was
very much needed, but I did for a while here, even when in "desparate" need
for help with my computer,... before I ever asked for help here, after
seeing what I percieved as the desire for "some" to feed their egos at the
expense of the weaker, the innocent and/or the ignorant. It didnt take me
much lurking to see that, and I very nervoussly typed out that first request
and I am by no means a wallflower.

Just my opinion, but spam isn't as big a threat as the binary flooding from
those with fast uploads. news:alt.binaries.misc is a warez group these days, and
the retention on the warez groups is measured in hours for most news servers.
Connection speeds have outdistanced the storage capacity at most ISP's, it may
be a while before things catch up.
If you aren't aware of it, some of the biggest spam-cancellers on Usenet started
because of spam flooding in the binary groups, mostly the sex groups. Howard,
Rick, etc. got fed up with the porno web sites spamming groups they were
downloading pictures from.

I don't think that the one(s) responsible are going to be standup about it
as I personally believe whoever did is a TROLL and will hide in cowardice
and let the rest go to hell on their own.
If you remember when I first came in here you will realize that I am also no
wallflower, but I am rapidly becoming more cautious in my postings from
watching the responses and from getting some of the responses.
oh well if this were life it would matter but it aint so it dont.
hope to continue seeing you in here Dusty, you are wise.
