No, you shouldn't be satisfied with it. It is highly unlikely that you
will find the answer to NetCruiser questions here. In fact, you may
even get slightly toasted if you ask one (this of course is not a
flame as you were misdirected). I have no idea why you got this
reply. It is wrong. The proper newsgroup would be netcom.netcruiser.general.

There was a recent "official" post on n.n.g about the loss of hundreds
of Usenet posts (or someone posted email they had received from Netcom
about it...there have been several threads on this), but I don't think
anyone has posted a satisfactory explanation/answer to the problem.

Oh I've asked before and you know what I got? I got one hell of an
attitude from a bunch of shell people who must really be latching onto
this 'fake society' of internet. This might be a little hard for someone
of my poor intelegince to explain, (please forgave me.. I ain't know no
proper talkin or nuthin) but it almost seems like you guys are trying to
compensate for something. I don't know if your not happy with your lives
and feel as if you need to lash out at every Netcruiser person you come
accross or what.
And if you think about it... you all should feel pretty stupid
yourselves. Look at what you are bitching about. Here we have 2 kinds
of users.. shell and Netcruiser. The shell account use theirs because
they have more control over what they do... ok, understandable. The
Netcruiser people use theirs because it's cheap and easy.. (some people
really don't have time in their lives to learn the internet inside and
out. Not that it is a bad thing if you do, but why have an attitude with
the ix'ers all the time? Because once and awhile they post a message
that you don't feel is appropriate on a newsgroup you have adopted as
your own? I mean for christ sakes... that is really freakin stupid!

You don't make any sense at all. There is no winning with you people.
If I try to reply to most of the posts regarding this manner, I am
lashing. But, if I don't reply... I am just some stupid IX'er who can't
figure out how to point his mouse over to the thread button.... I'm not
lashing at anyone any more then the shell people. Uh-oh Ty.... I guess I
have slipped into that denial phase. ;-) Where's my medication?

Interesting point, but then I don't post in n.n.* asking question. When
I see a legitimate question from a NetCruiser here, I tend to reply in
email or post an answer, but Golyath's "question-attacks" turn me off
immediately. I don't like to answer when I'm attacked, it's a fairly
natural reaction. I distinctly remember some IX'ers asking about shell
here a while ago - they got good answers. The difference is, they were
*asking*.

I have noticed that many people tend to respond in the manner in
which they were addressed in the first place. Perhaps if we
didn't have the kneejerk reaction that we tend to about
netcruisers, they wouldn't react in ways that we find unpleasant.

I have a question for you, what it the #1 rule regarding the usenet?
Might it be that you should monitor a group first and find out what it
is all about before posting?
This newsgroup was not adopted as our own. It was given to all
non-netcruiser accounts before netcruiser was even a glimer in anyones
eye. When netcruiser became a reality, Netcom created newsgroups
specifically for all netcruisers. Ignorance is not bliss, it bites as

I would vote for a mild mix. I'd also see a section of the test for

hodgepodge of stuff. Nothing really hard but enough so that they would
have to understand what is going on...
So you are admiting to being the cause of the problem between the
shell accounts and NC accounts.
No.. the problem started when certain shellies began making rude comments
about netcruiser users and the general feeling among them that ix'ers are
idiots. Thats all I have a problem with. I'm not here to put down shell
users or their inteligence, and I am not here to post specific questions
about netcruiser. I would just like all the hateful crap to stop. If a
netcruiser user posts something on here that is inappropriate, then I
would expect that person to be delt with as an individual, not as a

Actually the problem started before that. A small group of shellers used to
fight among themselves but then Netcruiser came along. That gave them what
they thought were easier targets, they are only bully wannabes, and they
pounced. Of course, they created far more noise than the inappropriate
netcruiser posts that they were whining about, but then noise was never really
the point. They like to squabble, it's what they are, it's what they do.
What's got them most upset is that until recently they were fairly successful
at bullying the poor ixer who stumbled into netcom.general. But now more and
more are fighting back and it's getting them buffaloed. I've used this quote
before about Gary but it's applicable to the rest of his sorry defenders as
well: "never attribute to malice what can be adaquately explained by
stupidity." With that in mind they are can be more easily tolerated.

Most of them do denigrate the shell community.
So as the self appointed representative and savior of Netlusers, you have
taken it upon yourself to cast aspersions upon any and all shellers who
happen to post something that you feel is not very complimentary of your
sacred group.
Well, the facts are that most of the ix'ers who post in the non-NC
newsgroups, do post NC specific questions. And they are promptly dealt
with by the shell community, in both public post and email.
Those that join in the non-NC specific topics in the non-NC newsgroups
find that they are very welcome and do not have any problems with
flameage unless they draw it due to deliberately asking for it or it
happens in the course of the discussion. Not all discussions are always
civil.... ;^)
So if the maturity level of ix'ers is as high as you contend, then they can
well deal with any situation that they come up against without the
self-appointed "vicar of Netluser"(golyath).
Your efforts are not aiding the cause of peace in the netcommie family
but are rather increasing the animous between the 2 groups.
So take a flying leap off the Golden Gate Bridge and take your misstress

BZZZZZT! Wrong, thank you for playing. Most of the netcruiser
posts in netcom.general are in these threads that are *responses*
to the way we react to netcruisers.
We made this bed, with intolerance and rudeness. Hopefully Momma
Netcom will come with shell groups soon and take of the problem.

True,true. Actually, I thought Golyath got off some good shots

he was met....

I kept far away from the keegan/teddybur battle and then went on vacation
during most of July. When I came back it was thankfully over. However
teddybur's post shows ME that he plays fast and loose with his "facts" and I
will give very little credance, make that no credance, to his posts in the
future. As to his charge that I often complained about Netcom's service, what
bearing does that have on my other statements? Teddybur's post was actually
rather wierd.

I hope you don't persue having a lobotomy seriously. Reading the posts
in this newsgroup eventually will give you the same effect in time.

That would match the Turette's syndrome certain Netcom shell users
already suffer from.

Your comment about my family didn't attract any interest from me
whatsoever other than as further evidence of your boorishness.
My point has not been whether or not you feebly attempt to insult my
family [nor that you randomly switch off which gender you assume I am
depending on just how latent your own sexuality is each day] but that
your constant, filthy mouthed postings are inappropriate, irrespective
of the demonstrated fact that your claim to a justification for same
is in reality the product of your frustration with Netcom the company.
I don't care how "PC" you are or aren't in reference to disabled
people. I haven't a standard in such and haven't claimed one.
If you want to claim the disability for yourself, I'm sure that any
number of PhD candidates will fall all over themselves to document
your case.
Clean up your act by ceasing to post filth-filled flames of Netcruiser
users in netcom.netcruiser.general.
Whether you clean up your act in the future shell-only groups I shall
not care since only other shell users, who for some obscure reason
tolerate your offensive presence, would be exposed.
This, for me anyway, was going to be a very boring weekend since
my family and most of my friends were going out of town. However, with
the participation of these two groups it has turned out to be a very
amusing weekend. I have been watching this back and forth shouting
match between the two groups for quite some time and have found it to
be mostly boring. So I thought, what the hell, lets turn up the Heat.
At first I didn't think anyone would bite, buy boy was i wrong. As
a matter of fact one of the replies to my original post go it, but
almost nobody else did. I don't know whether this is because so many
are cocked to the pissed-off-position or you are just that gullible.
Whatever the reason, thanks for all the wonderfull flames.
Special recognition must go to several individuals for their
participation in this, or it would have certanly been a flop.
1. To Gary Burnore -note the spelling- for lets see how many
times i can post in one day.
2. John Sanger for his class on smileys.
and in the Email category
3. Scott {I need to wash my mouth out with soap} Hagie for how
may time can i use the word FUCK in one sentence.
Their were many others that i have not mentioned and i certanly
wish to leave no one out. So for all those i haven't named give
yourselves a pat on the back.
As i said it been fun but got to go, if i spend to much time on the
net my wife will hit me with a stick. So once again thanks, its been
fun.

You sir, truly have NO life. IF the above reason is true, you are truly
pathetic. You decide to play on people's emotions for thrills? You are sicker
than I thought you were. Do you expect us to suddenly forgive all these
pointless flames just because you say "Oh, I was KIDDING"? I do however find it
somewhat amusing that we of this group were so ready to explode that when baited,
we do so on command.
Let's be careful with generalizations here. Gary and his small band of
sycophants does NOT speak for n.g.

The "fun" does pall quickly, doesn't it, which is why Gary and crew are still
around. Most people tire of this sort of thing rather quickly. We have lives
and better things to do with our time, but Gary has nothing else with which to
occupy himself.

Ed, for crying out loud - Mike is admitting troll-flaming, and you're
still kissing his ass???

So when Gary flames, he is a turkey, but when Mike does the same
(*TWENTY* moronic flames in two weeks), it is a "good show"? How
fucking hypocritical can you get. Man, you are pathetic. You are the
first netcommer who not only hit my killfile but my shitlist as well.
