I have! Sort of...

<https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/rec.photo.digital/JP4d0jERmTo>

I fear that that's the way most folks have accessed the Usenet the last
decade plus... Maybe they did not know better. But now they do! :-))

So I have updated the primer and comments are welcome. I have also put
it on my blog and a shortlink is available: <http://wp.me/P3strj-6h>

Surely, just 'Usenet' not 'The Usenet'?

> Shouldn't this be marked OT for the groups posted to?

And why not posted to news.newusers.questions where it's 'on topic'?
(Even though most newbies won't know that group exists). There used to
be a web site associated with that group, but it seems to have gone.
The wayback machine has archived it though:

I don't think that Usenet maners and behavior is off topic. Neither that
some folks in these groups that I read and sometimes post to couldn't
use some introductory links and hints on the subject.

You won't see the above off course...

If you insist on imposing your dealthless prose on the Internet, please

Is this yet another example of the seemingly iron law that those who

Just how many times a month do you plan on repeatedly spamming this
tripe to rec.photo.digital, alt.photography, comp.sys.mac.system,
comp.sys.mac.apps, and comp.sys.mac.comm?

Do you really think anyone actually appreciates you spamming the same
thing over, and over, and over, and over, and over again to multiple
news groups?

There is no need to do what you are doing, and you are only introducing
unneeded noise to an otherwise productive group by spamming it
repeatedly.

Or are you simply trolling to try to get a rise out of someone?

It definitely seems to be off-topic in groups such as
comp.sys.mac.system.

Why don't you copy that text to some site such as anotepad.com, and then
just give the link to those folks?

Trying to seem important, David? I don't know why you bothered to
post this, you only selectively follow the suggestions/advice offered
when you see a potential gain in doing so. Stalking, for example, is
never okay. Accusing people of having things they do not (child porn,
malware, etc), is never okay. Taking a copy of another persons things
and uploading them elsewhere, without their permission isn't okay
either, yet, you do that often. Even when the individual contacts the
site hosting it and the site admin agrees you didn't have permission
and deletes it, you proceed to upload the same thing to yet another
site and taunt the actual owner that you've done so.

You do these things with no regard for the other individual. And you
get royally pissed off and make hollow threats towards anyone who
doesn't just take your shit lying down, but, instead, gives you a
dose of your own medicine.
