Agreed. I hereby nominate Kenny as the froup's designated flamer.
All those who say "Aye?" Kenny, that was one hell of a funny flame.
Thanks, I needed a good laugh.

Lloyd Gilbert
It is a sad, sad day when such a friendly and chatty and downright
pleasant froup such as ourselves gets into a situation where even the
idea of having a "designated flamer" is suggested.
Surely we're better than this?
Flames do have their place on usenet, and occasionally they can be
very entertaining. I, however, would prefer to do without them and the
large amounts of bickering and bad feeling that they generally bring
with them. For one thing, as Kenny pointed out in his flame, I have to
pay to download it, and by reading your posts I am letting you froods
into my life and I'd much prefer to have happy froods in my life than
malcontented ones. I regard you all as a kind of extended family and
it saddens and depresses me to think of where we might be going if
this recent trend for vitriolic and abusive flaming is to continue.
It would be nice to think that we can: be intelligent with each other,
patient with newbies, ignore obvious trolls and, when a flame is
absolutely necessary, 'flame' in a manner that's in keeping with the
ideals of the group[1].
This post is in no way supposed to be a flame.
Lloyd
[1] Perhaps, when posting a flame, only press the send button after
considering the thought: "Would DNA approve of this post?" - just a
thought.

Thanks Kenny, you've saved me a reply. May I suggest each and every one of
you put the following e-mail address' in your kill file/equivelant:
Jamie...@dial.pipex.net
and the other one:
Corrie.M...@dial.pipex.com
This is not my fault, I would like to state that I do NOT like this and that
I would appreciate it if my friends, whom I showed USENET thinking they
would use it sensibly, would not post things about me that the rest of the
internet can read. It is beyond my power to stop this type of message (Short
of blowing up his house) but I would appreciate it if everyone took the
above step to assure no more disruptions. I apologise for the inconvenience.

seems he wanted to annoy me because I'd sent him an e-mail asking him not to
post crap to the newsfroup after the last thing. Jamie, just be careful, I
wouldn't do it but I'm sure some people here, were you to annoy them enough,
would report you to your ISP and that would get you into serious trouble.
Just like to clarify a few things:

This is bullcrap.

This could have been said by e-mail, this may be Usenet and you can post
whatever the hell you want but people on here would appreciate it if you
didn't use it as a messageboard for arrangements/announcements/interesting
things that happened/are happening in Barrow.

Again, I apologise for this crap and would appreciate it if no-one replied

The only reason I'm not casting my vote for you as the official afda

I'm easily satisfied you will deal with this person in real life - We hold you
not responsible for what your unenlightend and obviously immature friends do.
But what's wrong with a thread with your name in the title? OK, so the original
subjetc matter might not be all bad, but to me it's cute.
I think it would be kind of cool if all subject lines had to contain "Kie",
"Kieran", or "Kieran John". We might just as well begin calling them Kie lines
now.

Perhaps somebody should write a couple of empty postings with each
person's name in the Kie line, so we've all got threads with our name in
them.

I think it's fairly pointless - I mean, only Kie is being annoyed by having his
name in the Kie line, so why go to all the bother?
But I do expect you all to edit the Kie line of each message you reply to, so
we will have an utterly Kie-free-free newsfroup.

Is it just me, or does this sound like the begining of a commercial for
some sort of hotline?

How about beige?
Thatis: We now have
The colours are blue for relevant posts, brown for irrelevant posts,

I didn't realise anybody used LaTeX anymore. When I got to my new ISP, I found
they did all their documents in LaTeX, and even had an introductory book on it
(which I read), but it looked like a system that people used when they couldn't
use a word-processor.
I might try LyX when I get some extra disk space.. and RH6.0, after hopefully
this system works after being "repaired" on monday..

You are raving mad ofcourse!
Have you ever tried writing formulas in wordprocessors? It's a
nightmare! IT REALLY IS!
Whereas in LaTeX you just say, eg.
\[\forall\ksi\in\Bbb{R}:\sum_{i=1}^n(\Lambda^\ksi)=7\]
and you have a formula you would have taken a week to write in
Word....
Oh, and the above formula is of course a lie! Unless Lambda and n
depend on ksi in some strange way, so that it is true...

are you kidding? i always pitied my friend who was forced to write her
diploma thesis with word perfect since her boss wanted to be able to
read the text on a computer. or my other friend who wrote her thesis
with word for win and reported a lot of crashes when her document
became somewhat larger.
using a wordprocessor for a natural science text is pure horror. it's
not only the spasm your hand will get when clicking together a formula
with a mouse (not to mention that the word-formulas don't look very
nice) it's the trouble with page breaks, footnotes and other
references as well. and - the images. my postscript-thesis has some 40
mb due to 5 rather excessive graphics and the incompetence of corel
draw to save data economically - just imagine the bloody word-document
and the hour wfw would need for opening it.
latex rooooolez!

Mine is red and it does hurt, but I learned to never get a sunburn that would peel.

For me to tan, it would require that I be outside for no more than 15 minutes
a day for at least 3 months. Then, it isn't really a tan, just a little bit
less stark white.

OK, ok.. math formulas are Good Things in LaTeX. I believe that the Maths
faculty at my university does all the tutorial sheets and so on in LaTeX. And
I'm very impressed at the sheer number of things it gets Right (ligatures,
quote marks, etc). But my employer uses LaTeX even for the New User
Documentation, and Application Forms and all sorts of non-math stuff..

So do I. I prefer it for almost anything by now. Math is just an
example. The figures. The table of contents. The sections. The
possibility of writing Macros for anything that doesn't already
exist. Al this makes it so more flexible than any other text editing
system, and the fact that it is not immediately WYSIWYG doesn't bother
me too much, because of the fact that when it is translated to ps, it
almost always look right! Not so the WYSIWYG editors!

See above :-)
Although I prefer to write personal letters in hand, with a
pencil. For two reasons:
1) It looks more personal
2) Maybe they can't read it, and I won't be accused of writing
something I shouldn't have.
But I do use LaTeX for any word formatting. My Windoze is only ever
booted when I take half an hour of to play a game or such.

For everyone who's remarkably confused at this acronym, that stands for:
alt.alt.life.the-universe.and-everything - which I believe has nothing
at all whatsoever to do with the book.
Incidentally, I believe Ben to be the biggest multiple-froup populator
here. I've seen him in far too many different groups as I've lurked

Thanks. I also post to 5 or 10 netins.* groups that you can't get. My

For me to tan, I have to get burned, let it fade, get burned again, let
it fade, get burned again, let it fade... ad nauseum. Then by the end of
summer I might have enough of a tan that you can see that the top of my
arms is darker than the bottom, if you look reeeeeal closely :)
So I just remind myself that I don't have to worry about skin cancer as
much as people that try to stay tan all the time, and slather on the
sunblock :)

The lift said it, just before all the lifts went to the ground floor,
because the Frogstar fighters were about to remove a leg of the offices of
the guide.

Er, that's the lift isn't it? That took Zaphod and Marvin up to the
floor with Zarniwoops Office on it. Just before it (the lift) went and
hid in the basement.
Does that warrant a point?

Nope. Not a lift. I'm afraid that's a Sirius Cybernetics Corporation
Happy Vertical People Transporter, and it bears about as much relation
to a wheels and pulleys, maximum capacity ten persons as a packet of
peanuts has to the entire west wing of the Sirius State mental hospital.

i was going to point out that it's actually a packet of mixed nuts, but then
i checked, and found that it's peanuts in the radio series and mixed nuts in
the book... hmmm.

And they refer to them as elevators anyway. And to me, lift and elevator
mean the same thing, since they both lift/elevate you to a different place.
Who said a lift had winches and pulleys? Surely a fork lift truck is a lift!
And my hands! And a catapult! :P

Fair enough. I was in the right area which is enough to satisfy me
even if I don't get a point.

Well, as other froupies have proven, it's *not* a lift.
But I'll give you three centavos and a Ningi.

I keep them in orbit around a certain planet I own, but I can't fit enough to
own one Pu, since they keep hitting each other, bouncing off, and flying out of
orbit, gallavanting off into the universe at large..
