I didn't even realize she was gone until I read this group!!

I would like to join the Toni-Marie fan club please. I'm serious. I'd wish
she loosen up abit while she does the news...she's too serious.

Fred Hutton is alright...he's the school glue that keeps NTV's news
together. There's a abit of Doug Letto in him.

Maybe I should draw up the club charter?!!
Yeah, Toni-marie does need to looen up a bit, she also needs to get her hair
out of her face, so that we can see more of that beautiful face of hers.

Hey, buddy, I wasn't trying to piss you off. You should just try being a
little more sensitive before you fire off stuff like that. I think that
people should be VERY careful about drawing inferences, as you seem to
have done here, without coming remotely close to knowing all the facts.
I'm sorry if you feel embarrassed, or something, but I think that everyone
should know this collateral fact before jumping to some kind of conclusion
about Ms. Burry.

In accordance with your wishes, I am not going to direct this e-mail to
you, but instead, I will send it to "nf.general" as a whole. Please cool
down, Sir.

Regards,
Cormac

Guys, her husband was gravely ill. Do you not feel that you should cut
her some slack at this time (instead of casting aspersions about why she
may be taking time off work without really knowing the full picture)?
Furthermore, you ask me who I am to judge this fella Dave? Hell, I
received three very insulting messages from this guy. I think that I have
every right to judge him.

I know full well that he is entitled to reply to what I have to say, but
am I not entitled to reply in my own defence, too? What does the bible
say, "Judge not lest ye be judged?" (And, no, I'm not some kind of
religious nut.) I tried to put this in perspective. I then received some
nasty e-mail in response, and merely decided to defend myself.

I'm sorry that I inadvertently replied to him personally when I should
have just replied to the newsgroup. It was a posting mistake. I am not
sorry for having replied, however. Anonymity is one thing. Drivel,
innuendo, rumour and trash (DIRT) is completely another. Let's do
everyone a favour, fellas, and put this one to rest. It's getting
exceedingly childish. Let's get out of the sandbox and leave Lynn Burry
alone, shall we?

Nathan, that's why you "email". I think Cormac has behaved most
properly. I see nothing in any of his posts to justify Dave's
actions/reaction. The world would be a far better place if people
gathered the facts instead of passing about innuendo and generating
rumors. I'm beginning to believe that everyone should have to
undergo some sort of sensitivity training when being handed an
internet account. Far too many think that being faceless gives them
license to say what they wish without impunity.

Thomas, Dave was mad at Cormac for "personally" emailing him, and wasting his time, when
the two were having a discussion on the newsgroup. Maybe read the whole thread through
before replying next time.

There you go making assumptions: I have read the entire thread. I see
nothing wrong with taking something to email, more ppl should do just
that. Like, for instance, your response, and my followup: both waste
more peoples time than had we emailed each other. It's always best to
keep your laundry to email.

I hate to drag myself into this, but what does this have to do with free
speech? Is anyone keeping you from posting your opinion? Having had people
respond to my postings through e-mail, I'd say I'm with Tom and Cormac on this
one - IMHO by posting to a newsgroup, with your e-mail address for all to see,
you're inviting responses to your e-mail account. Certainly, Dave, there's no
excuse for the tone of your postings.

I'm confused. Was the guy who proclaimed the death of free speech
the same guy who told someone to f-off for expressing an opinion?

Nathan, I get the impression that you believe that someone is not
supposed to respond to postings via e-mail. Where did you get
that impression? This is Usenet: by posting here, one invites
comment. You can chose to ignore comments sent via e-mail--I
sometimes do. But don't be surprised or offended because you
receive a response via mail. By posting to the news, you've
invited it. That's not a rule, that's simply a fact.

One can, of course, be offended by the content of the message
and one might even conclude the sender to be a coward for not
posting to the group. That doesn't appear, to me, to be the
case here.

and i thought soap operas were restricted to the TV. This is suppose to be
an information newsgroup and not a method to keep an ongoing dispute between
people out in public.
This is getting to be more and more like a talkshow than a newsgroup.
Take the personal issues somewhere else, PLEASE!!!!!

I don't know what you said about Lynn Burry but if you give shit etc... be
prepared to get it back.
If you post your e-mail address some people may reply directly either by
accident or otherwise.

Paul, I'm not talking for everybody, I'm talking about Dave's case. You
can clearly see from Dave's response that he does not enjoy personal
emails, and I was supporting his opinion.


> Where did you get that impression?

That impression is my opinion, which I am entitled to, and which I
expressed.

I dont know if you wrote this in the right context, but I never received a
response.

I don't mean to stop you from trying to change Usenet, but I doubt
you'll succeed. One can wish that people won't send e-mail--some
people will respect that; one can demand that people don't send
e-mail--I won't respect that; and one can whine and complain
about it--I won't respect that either. You're free to wish, demand,
and whine all you want, but it's not going change the reality that
when you stick your head out here, you can become a target.

Of course, you're entitled to the opinion and you're entitled to
express it. But recognise that it's one opinion and, from my
experience, it's a minority opinion.

From "Rules for posting to Usenet" posted regularly to news.answers:

Many readers will feel that this message (my message) isn't about
Lynn Burry, isn't of general interest to the readers of the group,
and should have been sent via e-mail rather than being posted to the
newsgroup. I believe that once a thread is born, we should simply let
it live out its (hopefully) brief life and die naturally.

Also from "Rules for posting to Usenet" posted regularly to news.answers:
> For instance, messages offering thanks, jibes, or congratulations
> will only need to be seen by the interested parties -- send these
> by mail rather than posting them.

Which shows that it's recommended, as well as common, practice.

Maybe I should have phrased that differently.

When one posts to Usenet, one must expect response. Sometimes
that response will come via e-mail. One should not be surprised
or offended by this. That's just the way it is. Feel free to
express contempt. Usenet will happily accept your expression,
for it thrives on free expression, but it will probably ignore
your contempt.

The attitude was, I think, summed up by someone earlier in this
thread... let me look... here it i--huh?! Okay, I'm confused
again:

Isn't that the same poster again? Who's against what? I can't
figure it out.

I couldn't agree with you more. Seems like the whole question has been
resolved in favour of a bickering session. The rules seem
straight-forward...if you post people can and do read it, and can and may
reply either by posting or by e-mailing you personally.

Time to let it go.

Garbage man and hear his tragic story of love, betrayal and unsorted
recyclables....

And we've got FBI evidence that Lynn Burry was eaten by seals off the
south coast. See the heartwrenching tape of of Lynn's microphone
