Hey Graham, do you think we care? Besides, you'd have to try a lot harder.
Read: Post a lot of really *stupid* posts!
Tell me. What exactly is involved in being a moderator.

How about yourself? (Yes, I get the joke)
Our netnews was out for a few days.
I check out the group, and am faced with a wall of articles filled with
four-letter words. They're all written by someone named "Murray McDonald".
I then see his article suggesting c.s.a.a. become a moderated group.
Oh.
A newbie. Of course.

"Filled with four-letter words" I think you may be exaggerating just a fraction.
There was of course the standard "Bullshit" as a response to just about all of
Josef Faulkner's posts as most of these were filled with mistruths. You
will also notice that my posts 'usually' were correcting a mistake or stating
a pretty good argument.
Personal abuse is usually done in fun. No I don't feel obliged to smiley my

Well I think this is one of the most simple and boring flames that has ever
been used.
BTW how long have you been reading this group?
I have been reading and posting regularly for about 6 months.

Are you saying he's an old timer? If so, his use of expletives points
to a person who doesn't pick things up too quickly.

I see you don't pick things up too quickly, either.
But don't despair, David, you're improving. You've just shown use that you
can extend your ability to create baseless arguments from the computers
to people. Truly amazing.

Actually, my post's method of deduction would have reflected a rather
different cause/effect relationship, namely:
"You are acting like a moron and therefore are, quite possibly a newbie."
Of course, I never called you a moron. I simply assumed you were a newbie.
If you had posted what you did in another group, I would have ignored you.
If you had posted such material only a few times, I would have ignored
you. Six straight posts by you, each with a generous sprinkling of
expletives, on my first day back into the group after a week, showed me
responding. My post wasn't netcoppish, and I didn't call you any names.
>Well I think this is one of the most simple and boring flames that has ever

I've never seen it used. If you don't act like a moron, how could anyone
possibly know you're a newbie? It doesn't make any sense.
>BTW how long have you been reading this group?

Why is it that most Austalian contributors to c.s.a.a are constantly
being obnoxious and filling the group with bad language and flame bait.

BTW Prouse, judging from your comment above you have an Amiga to

genitals only for their intended use; urinating and copulating.

No, I think the gist of the message was "you are a moron and thus likely a
newbie". Anyone who reads a newsgroup for a few months and then suddenly
declares that it should be moderated ought to run back to Fido where they
belong.
HINT: The vast majority of Usenet newsgroups are unmoderated. You cannot
"make" an unmoderated group into a moderated one, you have to create an
entirely new newsgroup, say, comp.sys.amiga.advocacy.moderated. Incidentally,
it is possible to post anything you want, even to moderated groups (see
alt.hackers) but that's another long story...
If you don't want to be branded a newbie, don't spout off about things
related to Usenet that you know little about.

It can take anywhere from days to forever. All you really have to do
is stop posting newbie-like comments like "this newsgroup (or if you
_really_ want to display your ignorance, call it a 'message base' or a
'bboard') should be moderated" That's how this thread got started, check
out the subject line.
Also, it helps not to use B1FFisms like "C U L8R D00D!!" and "Bfore".
Being a newbie is not a bad thing. It is a stage that everyone passes
through. Some faster than others.

As an Amiga owner/user I have as much right to respond to stupidity
posted in an Amiga group as any other Amiga person. If you want to bring
up masterbatory excess, I think there may be a need for a mop and bucket
in some rooms at Griffiths Uni.
As for the Amiga being ophaned, time will tell.
I saw your Dean (?) of Science on the TV the other night, he had some
excellent points on the direction of universities in Australia. I do
wonder though, what he would think of the waste of rescources that you people
engage in simply in the name of generating flames and bullshit.

Well Jeremy I obviously got up your nose. I think it is blatantly obvious
what I intended to do with this post. It was very simply a little light
humour on a group that is taking itself far to seriously.
Obviously this group will not and could not be moderated. Moderating an
advocacy group would be the most ridiculous situation on Usenet. Censoring
a group that is put there for debate and opinionated articles is just wrong.
I must also mention here that part of my reason for doing this was that
a couple of months back when David was at his worst for a while people
were suggesting Moderating this group, seriously. I thought this would at
least make some people think just how silly that would be.
Now, Jeremy SIR.
If you don't like my humour or if you abuse me for defending myself well quite
frankly I don't give a shit, but don't give me your standard for posting.
I think this post of yours really stinks of a person who thinks they weild
a big "Usenet Stick". Personally I find this rude.
I post for my enjoyment. Sometimes I will post something for the sake of being
funny. If I do that stop and look at it for what it is.
Take a chill pill.

Irrelevant, cliched and obviously borrowed.
The discussions in this group are intended to be about:
1) Amigas
2) Computers
3) Cars
4) Beer
5) Life
In the short time that you and your associates have been here, not one of you
has made a meaningful comment on anyny of these. None of you own an Amiga.
Several of you don't even own a computer at all. Your choice of cars and beer
would probably make our minds boggle. As far as life goes, I doubt that your
small group has enough age or experience between you to even add up to a poor
one.
To address Amigas specifically, they;
i. are still fully functional
ii. the considered choice of many
iii. have an unknown future.
That's all you can say, anything else is purely personal speculation.

I don't think I did. I just expressed how silly I thought the idea of
moderating c.s.a.a. was, and how annoying it is that people come here right
off the boat from Fidonet and just assume that anyone they disagree with
should be censored. Even if you were spoofing, there were undoubtedly a
large group of people who took the idea seriously.
>I think this post of yours really stinks of a person who thinks they weild

If I wield a "big Usenet Stick" then it's only because I've been around Usenet
for long enough that I have a clue about it and get annoyed at people who
think they do but don't.

That's precisely why I post. There is great entertainment in flaming, if

Actually I made it up, but considering that I didn't invent the English language
all the words involved are, in fact, 'borrowed' from the dictionary.
Cliched, I don't think so.

Wrong smeghead, the discussions in this group are supposed to be based
on what's happening in the AMIGA platform, part of the world.

I don't drive a car, and I will drink anything which has a label with 'beer',
'ale', or 'lager' written on it, ( and the 4.5% min. alch. content ).
this however has nothing to do with this Newsgroup, if I wanted to talk about
cars or beer I would go to the correct newsgroups.
I have a life, you obviously have no judgemental powers, YOU ARE NOTHING.

Perhaps if you read a bit more widely and tried to talk to some normal people,

No-one is saying that Amigas are cutting edge anymore, but when they are

"Latest computers" is a moving target, nothing that is already available
can be considered as more than potentially obsolete.

I agree about the first part. The last sentence is not something I have
experienced, but it sounds like you have. If c.s.a.a is about "attacking and
defending" the amiga, why do you and your friends try to reduce everything to
personal abuse.
What type of computer do you own/use?
My 3000 suits my needs the best of anything I have yet seen. Right now the
only better computer for me would be an A5000 or, if they won't be available,
a souped up A3000. I use the other options daily and they don't do what I
want anywhere near as well as the Amiga.
Thats advocacy.
If I were to call you a prepubescent, limp dick, newbie who still gets all
his jollies from a magazine, then I would be stupid. See the difference?

Expletive Filled, I don't think so, I might through in the odd swear word,
once in a while but, "explitive filled", you are a mental giant, aren't you ?
"Mummy he said a wude word"
How do you know whether I am at the top of the class, or the bottom of the class
or somewhere in between ? Quite simply, you don't. You know nothing about me, and probably never will. This was just a pathetic attempt at flaming, you have
no idea how to, and simply come out with pre-neubescent shite like a lot of
other people, visiting the net at the moment.

Gee Graham. Is the English language so hard for you to understand?
For someone who has a fetish for syntax-spelling flames, you're hardly
the number one proponent of modern English use.
The word company has a few meanings : assemblage, fellowship, guests, crew,
corporation.
Now look at the context of the word in the sentence and see if you can
figure it out. I know it's a big stretch for your vocabulary.
You truly are a dill-weed Graham. Life must be tough at the bottom quartile
