With these headers:

Newsgroups: comp.os.linux.advocacy,alt.free.newsservers,sci.physics,alt.astronomy,alt.usenet.kooks
Followup-To: alt.usenet.kooks

your server incorrectly responds with "441 Forbidden Crosspost", despite
the fact that a single-group Followup-To is set. Removing
comp.os.linux.advocacy from the Newsgroups: line suffices to avoid
triggering the bug. Please look into this.

I find it hard to imagine a post that would be on topic for all of these
groups, and setting Followup-to: to a single group doesn't make it any
more right. There is likely a rule that has been put in place blocking
cross posts between comp.os.linux.advocacy and one of the other groups
(or some combination there-of).

Those are unrelated newsgroups. The more groups you include in a
crosspost then the less probable that your post is on-topic to ALL of
them. It's obvious you want to add a flame in kooks and then puke it
elsewhere to insult.

So do you also crosspost an article about replacing a car alternator
into a gardening group, too? (rolls eyes)

Personally I would prefer the NNTP server to refuse any article that is
crossposted when the kooks or any advocacy group is included. Keep the
kook flames in the kook group. Keep the proselytizing flames in the
advocacy groups. Keep the turds in their own toilet groups.

However, if the NNTP owner has rules about to which groups an article
can or cannot be crossposted then those rules should be posted at the
web site for that NNTP server. I didn't see any such rules listed. But
then I also didn't see a max group count mentioned regarding
crossposting, or any restrictions about crossposting. Maybe the error
messages are expected to be self-explanatory or users are expected to
learn by trial and error. Maybe the ban rules are too lengthy to list,
or they could have their own FAQ article and let users figure them out.

I assume this means "Working As Designed".

Mousetrap caught mouse. Mouse complains.

Do you have a general rule on number of newsgroups allowed? I
understand that four is a typical maximum, but what do you have set? I
occasionally crosspost but only to two newsgroups at once.

Happy New Year, folks.

The Cleanfeed filter--which I believe Ray uses--includes, by default (or did
when I downloaded a copy out of interest), a list of "meow" newsgroups and
special crosspost rules that block messages whose crosspost list includes a
"meow" group such as alt.usenet.kooks. This is in addition to the normal
crosspost maximum.

The OP would, IMO, have done better not to draw attention to Ray's unusually
generous crosspost maximum and failure--so far--to define alt.usenet.kooks

Likewise (offered more as a pious hope than any expectation).

Yes. In general, crossposting is limited to 6 groups. There is, however,
an additional limitation concerning postings to a.u.k. and a.f.n. whith
crossposts to unrelated groups.

Please see <86k3xzh...@banana.shacknet.nu> for details.

That presupposes that I was trying to do something naughty, acting in bad
faith. Nothing could be farther from the truth. In fact, the newsgroups
line was inherited: I was posting a followup. I followed standard
netiquette and a) avoided splitting the discussion by multiposting while
b) setting a followup to a more appropriate newsgroup. Unfortunately, the
buggy behavior observed would seem to require people to multipost replies
in these cases, forking a discussion, or else omit some newsgroups, which
could result in not being read by some of the participants. The crosspost
should be allowed as long as a followup group is set.

Personally I would prefer the NNTP server to be liberal in what it
accepts and individual usenetters to be responsible for keeping their
killfiles well-curated, including filtering on specific crosspost groups
or on number of crossposted groups if they so desire.

The *kooks* don't keep the kook flames in the kook groups. Seen
sci.physics lately? I think kensi pretty much has her hands full keeping
an eye on all the kooks there.

Any such expectation is woefully unjustified. The message I got didn't
even name which newsgroup combination it didn't like.

And, of course, setting a single-group followup-to should have neutered
it, regardless.

In which case they are clearly excessive. Usenet users are supposed to be
mostly self-policing via killfiles, and crossposts involving particular
groups are particularly easy to filter for those who don't wish to see
them. There's little to no reason, IMO, for a server to have *any*
crosspost restrictions beyond ones based on sheer quantity, let alone a
huge and baroque array of them.

> or they could have their own FAQ article and let users figure them out.

That would require communicating rather more information to users than
seems to be the case here.

The old saying "My server, my rules" comes to mind. In this case it
is "Ray's server, Ray's rules". I.e. if you don't like the way he
runs Eternal September, find some other Usenet service, or start your
own.

Most of us here, including me, do very much like the way he runs E-S.

You think others are going to know the article number from your mention
of some error status your client got from a server?

There is no "post in question". You never identified it. No, I'm not
wasting any time foraging in newsgroups that I don't inhabit. You
decided not to identify the article or thread. You didn't even bother
to give the Subject header. I have no inclinination in pushing the
turds floating around in an unflushed toilet to find one in particular.

See my response to that other poster. Also, note how those rules, in this
instance, seem likely to cause people to fragment discussions (as opposed
to requiring a followup-to, which might tend to concentrate them in the
single most-relevant group instead).

That doesn't preclude me from advising him where those rules seem to be
sub-optimal (or where the server may have glitched outright).

> Most of us here, including me, do very much like the way he runs E-S.

So do I, for the most part. But I don't agree in this one particular
instance that the behavior I observed is desirable. Perhaps thread-
starting posts (with no References) to too-diverse groups should be
blocked, while permitting replies that have narrow enough Followup-Tos.
But then, also, who decides which combinations of groups should be
blocked? And how the heck is a user supposed to guess, *in advance*, and
avoid getting a smack in the face from the server? Unless there's a
simple and obvious three-sentence-or-so rule that can be stated that
covers all the cases, it's probably better to allow the crossposts but
require a Followup-To (as is already the case for any crosspost to more
than three groups, it seems).

Whoosh! The point is, since you *haven't* read the post in question, your
judging it sight-unseen as worthless and making all kinds of assertions
and conclusions about it is more than a little odd. No, "odd" is the
wrong word; "laughable" might be more appropriate.

And there you go again presuming it to be a "turd", sight-unseen! Truly

Since there's unlikely to be a legitimate reason to cross-post to those
newsgroups, one doesn't have to read the thread to know that it's
probably BS.

You said you were just following up. I've occasionally followed up to a
post without noticing that it was crossposted to unwanted groups (or had
its Followup-To set to send somewhere inappropriate). On those
occasions, I wish there were a system that would catch this stuff.

Wow, I didn't realize I was discussing the issue with a child. I didn't
see the post because YOU CHOSE NOT TO IDENTIFY IT. Duh! Neither did
anyone else here see the post in question because the post wasn't in

"Unlikely" and "probably" are good enough when making your own personal
decision as to whether to read a post or just mark it read and move on,
but they are not generally going to be good enough when imposing a
limitation on other people. Especially in a medium like Usenet where most
such choices are, by the medium's explicitly declared philosophy,
supposed to be decided where the article meets a user's killfile and not
at the injecting server.

Say what? I replied to a piece of your post by posting my reply

Which is therefore grounds for you to attempt to violate the rules set
by the server maintainer, who has graciously permitted you to use his
hardware at no cost to yourself? And upon further discovery that you
could not violate the rules, to then complain that you should be allowed
to dictate the rules on someone else's property?

Now, get off of my lawn.

Who was intentionally attempting to circumvent any rules? I don't recall
any instance of such being presented for discussion. Only an instance
where the server rejected a post that did not violate any of the
officially-stated rules listed at the relevant server's AUP webpage,
seemingly arbitrarily.

An undocumented crosspost restriction is not the same thing as an AUP
rule -- it could quite possibly be the outcome of a bug, or even be an
oversight.

Furthermore, it's perfectly reasonable to challenge something -- rule or
otherwise -- that seems to lack a useful purpose and has become a
nuisance. Obsolete red tape often lingers past its sell-by date, so to
speak, and becomes needlessly and purely obstructionist; if you've worked
a day in your life you've probably run into likely instances of such in
the halls of one bureaucracy or another. One can easily conceive of a
situation where a temporary flood of abusive crossposts involving
comp.os.linux.advocacy and originating from eternal-september.org
prompted a "temporary" restriction on same that the admin, due to being
kept busy fixing things, forgot to lift afterward, for example.

Lastly, appealing to the philosophy on which Usenet has run since its
inception is hardly akin to suggesting some sort of radical overthrow of
an accepted regime. In fact, it's pretty much the precise opposite.

In any event, imputing nefarious intent to me where none is actually
present hardly helps to make your arguments compelling to me.

> Now, get off of my lawn.

This is a usenet newsgroup, not your private property. You can freely
disagree with my opinion here but telling me, in one way or another, to
shut up is not going to result in my doing so.

It depends on where the filtering's being done. If by the end user, it's
fine. If by the mail host, it should be "almost impossible" and "almost
certainly", or legitimate mail might get lost.

P.S. It also doesn't like the combination of alt.usenet.kooks with at
least one of comp.lang.lisp, comp.lang.java.programmer, alt.astronomy,
and sci.physics -- oddly, I could have sworn I'd crossposted between auk
and each of those on at least one previous occasion, but I guess not.

P.P.S. Before anyone suggests nothing could ever be on topic for all of
those groups, what if someone used Armed Bear Common Lisp or Clojure
(Lisp dialects that run on the Java Virtual Machine) to write software to
simulate stellar interiors (physics stuff, applied in the astronomy
domain), and someone made the kooky claim to have used that software to
prove that the Sun's core temperature was fifty below zero Farenheit? A
response to that claim pointing out that they must have used the software
wrong would be on topic in all five groups. :)

If the person really believed that, they wouldn't include
alt.usenet.kooks and there would be no need or point for you to add it
when responding.

If the person didn't really believe it and you respond, you're just
feeding a troll and adding to the noise level of legitimate newsgroups
in the process. Ray's rules are precisely to prevent that kind of
behavior.

True enough

Not so. Documenting usenet kooks is one of the core duties of a
kookologist, and crossposting specimens of kookery into alt.usenet.kooks
is a key part of the documenting process.

That is trollish behaviour and the server rules stopping it
become a welcome filter.

*You* are obviously not familiar with auk, since if you were you'd
realize that there *are* no consequences to *that* group from such.

Try not jumping to conclusions in your eagerness to climb over other
people and present yourself as some sort of alpha male -- that way your
efforts will backfire less often in the future.

Wow! Such a lot of vitriol, concentrated into such a tiny post, and
prompted by nothing more than the fact that I exist? You don't even have
a dog in this particular thread.

If you hate me that much, you'd be well advised to killfile me.
Alternatively, you can ignore me the old-fashioned way by simply not
choosing to respond to my posts. Or, of course, you can choose the ko0ky
option: following me around to let everyone in the world know how much
you hate me, much like your fellow k00k Shit Rot has been doing.

Of course, it's easy to guess which you'll choose. *snicker*

Who gives a fuck about the consequences to auk? The group to
consider is the one whose thread was offered to auk as a target
of opportunity.

Does it *really* make much of a difference to, say, sci.physics if one
of the "Einstein was wrong" nutters' pet theory threads gets crossposted
to auk? A lot of people will have killfiled the thread anyway, and the
rest will be a) kooks, b) kookologists, and c) people amused by the

Multiposting and socking up -- you're really ko0king out these days!

I always find it amusing when one of you nutters gets so worked up over
some alleged "net abuse" that you commit ACTUAL net abuse in your ko0ky
efforts to draw more attention to your frivolous and rightly-ignored
complaints.

Now all you need to add to your routine is massive crossposting (like
"Account Banned"), really epic multiposting (like Murphy -- 30 copies on
one particular occasion, some of them crossposted), and morphing two or
three times a day (Murphy again), and you too can join the ranks of
truly epic k00kdom.

For now, though, I'll just say this.

--------
The Lodestone Award

This award is occasionally given in recognition of a ko0k whose posts
are richly veined with irony, and who as a consequence is a powerful
magnet for criticism.
--------

NOMINATION: "Steve <m...@privacy.net>" for a Lodestone Award. Besides
multiposting to harass someone because he *thinks* that someone is
"Seamus" who he *thinks*, in turn, is a net abuser, "Steve" here made a
post to auk in which he tried to frog Murphy, someone even nuttier than
he is, apparently in the mistaken expectation that doing so might
actually cause someone to take him seriously (quite the opposite, of
course).

Anyone for seconds?

You bring a fast paced dimension to the morph act, Derbyshire.

I can't think of much specific to say in response to yon monument
Murphy erected to his own madness. Really, it speaks for itself. In
fact, it sounds just like one of those guys with cardboard signs at
street corners that you cross the street to avoid walking past, or one
of those people you'd stand hanging onto a strap rather than sit next
to on the bus, and if HE sat next to YOU, you'd promptly get up.

But I will note this bit of irony:

> of the ghosts of your past rise before you, Derbyshire

Derbyshire, of course, being a ghost from your past (if he's not
ENTIRELY a figment of your imagination).

For this, and for admitting above to several varieties of net abuse
that he says he used to "fight fire with fire" against an IMAGINARY
OPPONENT, I have to nominate you for a Lodestone Award, kooky. You can
contend with Steve for this new and illustrious award.

Similar comparisons have been drawn before, by myself, Nadegda, that
Roedy guy that responded to one of his recent go0fy crossposts, Ray
Banana ...

Speaking of whom, *someone* seems to be foaming about how I ignored some
question he supposedly asked. The question post's headers are suspect
and the question itself is not even addressed to any name that I'll
answer to, so it's amazing anyone thought I'd do anything else *but*
ignore it.

Then again, the one who apparently expected me to respond is quite a

Paul has most conveniently now provided a denial, of sorts.

social finger wagging, "kensi" has a double dip and dodge

So. Message/article <m262314...@banana.shacknet.nu> carries
"suspect" headers - according to the Pembroke guru of NNTP forensics.
And. "kensi" denies his "Seamus" posting's... bringing direct conflict to
Rays' desk. Ray is wrong? Ray is a kook? Ray is homophobic?

Paul will not run his "kensi" act through ES as that notion would
contaminate his "Nagada" floor show. Paul can however run
"<ray...@banana.shacknet.nu>" through any test group (carried
by ES) to discover what error code is generated.

Worth noting too is Paul's change in using Albasini.net as a carriage
in having his full articles quoted. One conclusion which is drawn
is the one that says Paul has finally exhausted error code generating
exploits of the AIOE.org server... a task which has sure kept that
Paolo est...@aioe.org klutz well busy these past 12 months and
more.
The question now is, is Roman Racine <roman.racine @gmail.com>
up to the task of managing one individual hell bent on exploiting
"free" news servers.

Not forgetting Paul's deeming of Ray Banana as a homophobic kook.

Ray has nothing to do with kensi, since kensi doesn't use Ray's
server.

> Ray is a kook? Ray is homophobic?

Where did you get that crazy idea? Why are you bringing homophobia up
out of context?

Oh, yeah, that's right, BECAUSE YOU'RE A FUCKING KOOK! Now you've got
what, THREE sock puppets active in this thread? How many does one kook
even need?

> Paul will not run his "kensi" act through ES as that notion would

"Nagada"? Isn't that the city Ra's slaves lived in in the Stargate
movie? What does that have to do with anything here?

Oh, yeah, right, YOU'RE A KOOK.

Are you even capable of stringing together a coherent paragraph? And
not infusing it heavily with your insane paranoia?

And what, exactly, is "Albasini" anyway?

Oh, yeah, right, YOU'RE A KOOK.

> The question now is, is Roman Racine <roman.racine @gmail.com>

Syntax error, kooky.

> up to the task of managing one individual hell bent on exploiting

Where is your evidence that kensi has done anything that counts as
"exploiting" over at Albasani?

Oh, that's right, YOU'RE A KOOK. Who needs evidence when you've got
the certainty of a religious prophet, both of your kooky beliefs and
of the rightness of your kooky cause?

Oh, yeah, Roman Racine would need evidence, and you don't have any.
KOOK.

On top of that, you're rather well known for biting the newsadmin hand
that feeds you, as evidenced by your slur against AIOE's admin quoted
above. Not exactly a trait that would endear you to Roman or anyone
else. I wouldn't be surprised if every new sock you create is
killfiled by him on sight. In fact, I WOULD be surprised if that were
NOT the case, unless he found your clowning antics mildly amusing.

> Not forgetting Paul's deeming of Ray Banana as a homophobic kook.

MID, kooky?

> jus' sayin' like..

Jus' kooking out, you mean. I think you're on a buildup to another
massive meltdown, and I think it needs to be documented. So, I'm
adding auk and nominating you for a Chernobyl Award for January, based
not so much on just the one quoted post above but on the general
escalation of your activity lately -- lots of foamy rants, multiple
new sockpuppets (you introduced two more IN A SINGLE DAY yesterday),
and fresh netkkkopping attempts aimed at kensi, which are sure to
backfire.

Seconds?

Recorded and snickered at. Just a month or so ago, it looked like
Murphy's career as a kOok was winding down, but now I think it may have
only just begun in earnest, as he not only has the 2012 Ko0k of the Year
Award pretty much sewn up but is on a streak getting nominated for
various things for the month of January 2013 as well.

Your attentiveness melds with my knowledge of the "tell" properties
of an ES post.
Unfortunately the silence around this issue now leaves a gap in
the provenance, one which the "kensi" sock revels in exploiting
whilst the "Nadegda" sock dances with each key windup.
