less you post, and vice versa." As I've done periodically in the past,
with this and other forums, I just did a 15-minute, quick-and-dirty
compilation of the number of messages people have posted here (not
having anything better to do right now...). This is a tally of posts
from the first of this year, using Google Groups' "Advanced Groups
Search," which provides approximate numbers.
If anyone was left off, this wasn't deliberate. I just typed into
Google Groups the names I've believe I've seen the most, scanning my
newsreader for guidance. With a few posters that I recognized as
having posted from more than one account, I combined their totals.
Some people use handles rather than their real names, and when I knew
their name, I used it instead of their handle. The cut-off was 200
messages or more. To those who didn't make this esteemed list,
congratulations -- you have a life. <g> There were actually a fair
number of people who posted more than 150 times (I started to include
them but it got too tedious). Be careful. You're a borderline Usenet
nerd. <g>

I feel left out. Sniff! But statistics can always be manipulated to give the
desired results. Try recalculating since February 1st, and I'm confident
I'll secure a place on the nerd list of honor. I got off to a very slow
start in January.

Well, Alan, it had to be "shoddy and inaccurate work" because the only
other option was to go look up the actual posting data and claim it as his
own.
Besides, we must also add to Reid's score the number of posts he's removed
from the archive.

Actually, Billy, Reid is lying again. I went to google and entered this
newsgroup, my e-mail address (that covers both halves of this happily
married couple) and set the dates from Jan 1, 2004 to present. I've not
posted 800 times, nor 700 times, nor 600 nor 500 times. It returned 460
posts.
Sure, that's a lot! I have no idea if anyone has more or less. I do
know that 865 is a total falsehood, flamebait, as a matter of fact and
yes, it worked, it ticked me off.
I do try to be relevant and civil in my postings, and to be a welcome
contributor, as opposed to...well, as opposed to the obvious.

It depends on how you search.
Alan & Erin Williams or associated e-mail address - 407 posts
Alan Williams - 460 posts
IIRC Alan sometimes posts from a different account with just his own name.

What sense does this make? These thoughts are non sequiturs -- they
don't relate to one another -- and they're wrong. It has to be shoddy
and inaccurate work? I went to Google Groups and typed in people's
names and specified a period of 1/1/04 to the present. Then I copied
and pasted. I had to do one addition, I believe, Alan's posts from the
two handles he uses.
And how does this relate to looking up actual posting data? Alan said
I did this, that I counted every post, which of course is absurd as it
would have taken countless hours, and now you're saying, what, that I
should have done this for it not to be shoddy and inaccurate work? And
how does this relate to my claiming it as my own? You can't claim data
as your own. It's not copyrightable. Only the expression of data is
copyrightable. Are you saying that if I counted every message every
poster left here I would have claimed this data as my own?

I'm glad you're not saying I lied. That of course would also be
absurd. You can check yourself at Google Groups using the procedure I
pointed to. You can do it for this group and the porno and theology
groups you mention also. P.S. Is there a group that combines both?
Tantra, maybe, but that of course isn't porn as it's commonly
regarded. How about combining all three of these interests of yours --
coins, porn, and theology? You can actually do this, or come close to
it, with some coins of ancient Thrace that I've referred to here
before, which depict what's often interpreted as a mythological rape,
an anatomically excited satyr ravaging a nymph. But in reading more
about these coins and about ancient Thrace and the worship of
Dionysos, I believe that this is an incorrect interpretation, that the
act depicted on these coins is consensual, that it's a Dionysian
dance, a religious rite practiced in the ancient world involving
sexuality. Still not porn, but it does involve the sexuality and
theology you're after.

I won't say you've lied, either, but you are significantly in error.
When, in Google Groups, you do an advanced search on "Alan Williams" it tallies both
"Alan Williams" *AND* "Alan & Erin Williams."
Therefore you double-counted Alan.
This has already been pointed out to you in this thread.
I believe you owe Alan an apology.

>I had to do one addition, I believe, Alan's posts from the

And I suppose you added the two results....that was your mistake.
Since the poster identity from both e-mail addresses contains "Alan Williams"
all you had to do was type that into the "author" field and you would have
received the correct combined total of 460.
If you used both "Alan & Erin Williams" and "Alan Williams" you probably got
something like 405 + 460 = 865.....but the first 405 posts were also included
in the 460.

Maybe "it" should look at your site more often, make that much more often
because "it's" retention is shallow, and then maybe just maybe "it" will be

Sorry, I don't understand a word you said there. But I am now led to
believe that your 221 post-count for me includes all the replies to any post
I originated, plus replies to my replies. Meaning I did not hit SEND 221

Bruce, I didn't double-check all of Reid's bogus stats, but so far as I

I skimmed the words above, and I think Reid is inviting you to discuss
ancient sexuality. Perhaps there is a newsgroup like alt.fan.

I agree, Reid should have double-checked his results rather than
doubling them before starting this thread.

I don't want to do it myself. I couldn't care less about whatever you're

That won't work, you've got to bait them:
Reid, you use information from RCC posters to write your articles without proper
citations.
Reid, counterfeit coins are illegal to own and will be taken when the Secret

You posted my name and how many newsgroup posts I have made without asking

That caught my eye. I'm not interested in the number or how to come up with

YOU didn't come up with the numbers. Google did. I asked you to explain
what they indicate. I know I didn't originate 225 posts in two months. I'd
also be surprised if I posted 225 replies on RCC during that same time,
although I don't really care. I asked what the 225 indicates after reading
some posts that suggest it might include all replies to any post I may have
originated. You say you like to do research. Go for it.

And I told you what the number signifies, and it's not, AGAIN, replies

Now *that* is a lie.
There.
I've done it.
I've finally succumbed and joined the masses who have accused you of lying.
Your original post was transparently flamebait AND YOU KNOW IT.
As if (!) you would post a list with your principal antagonist at the top (with
ignorantly, stupidly inflated statistics), assign a derogatory appelation to the list
members, if your intention was anything other than starting a flamewar.
Reid, you are an ignorant, incompetent, pathetic, juvenile liar.

You can't use the entire posting or "extensive" exerpts from it and
still claim it is "fair use". Furthermore, whether _you_ profit from
the
use is also important as to whether it is "fair use." Usually, if you
are
making money off the publication it isn't fair use.

I'm surprised no one has brought up the issue of whether it's
acceptable for a journalist to use a snippet of a Usenet post a)
without the poster's permission and b) without naming the poster.
This is a controversial issue. Some feel that under the Fair Use
doctrine it's OK to take a snippet without permission. Some people
skirt the issue of having to ask for permission by not naming the
poster, as happened here. Some feel that it's simply courteous, in a
netiquette kind of way, to ask first even if it's not legally binding
to do so.
I personally don't have particularly strong feelings about all this.
It's just sorta interesting as a new media issue.

Hey, Lon. Some friendly advice here. You may not realize it, but your
behavior is doing the exact opposite of what you may think it's doing.
Instead of engendering feelings of trust and enticing people to buy
your coins, you've probably turned off several hundred would-be
customers.
This newsgroup is a community, and like every community it has norms.
These norms are shared in the form of an FAQ, which is published here
regularly. It's good manners before leaving a message in any Usenet
newsgroup, not just this one, to read the FAQ to see how the group has
organized itself.
You've not only failed to do this, when people point out this out, and
that your behavior runs counter to it, you rebelliously continue the
same behavior. These rules aren't just anal compulsiveness from
stickler schoolmarms. When you post the same message a half dozen
times, you waste the time of people following this newsgroup. When you
post in HTML instead of straight text, you make it more difficult for
most people to read what your write and link to Web pages you mention.
If everybody did as you did, this newsgroup would cease to be an
attractive place to visit.
Finally, some very knowledgeable people have pointed out that the
large cent you continue to hawk is in all likely altered. In response,
you insult them and continue to try to sell it here with mindless
repetitive messages. A much smarter move would be to have the coin
authenticated by the ANA or one of the legitimate slabbing services.
Then you can leave an FA message here and hope that people will
forgive your initial ignorance and rudeness.

I don't consider myself an expert. Not even close. I can't
tell a Roman mint coin from a Cyzicus coin if my life depended
on it (if I can't see a mint mark). But I can tell a Slavey
coin from a small picture of either side in two seconds or less.

Alan continues to lie about Slavey Petrov, the Bulgarian ancient coin
replica maker. Stupidly, he continues to call him a counterfeiter as
well. In the past, Alan told the lie that I actively imported his
unmarked replicas, that I broke the law by doing this, when in fact
I've never imported a single unmarked replica. I buy Slavey replicas
from dealers in this country, a perfectly legal activity. What's more,
Slavey in the past made unmarked replicas, but as I've said here, his
recent ones are marked. Truth doesn't stop Alan. And even Slavey's
unmarked replicas are obvious replicas. Alan calls them counterfeits,
stupidly. They're no more counterfeits than a poster of a Rembrandt
oil painting is a forgery. Slavey uses a deliberately flamboyant style
recognizable to anybody who's been around ancient coins for more than
a week, and he presses his replicas rather than striking them, causing
flat, uniform fields that no ancient coin has. He doesn't attempt to

claimed Petrov is a counterfeiter. He's been screaming at me for months
as 'stupid' for saying the same thing. Good luck finding his original
post, BTW. It's gone Zappy-Dancer.

Reid, I think you've got a pompous nerve to claim "enough already" after
assembling a list of RCC'ers who post a lot (numbers included) here and
suggesting that they are "Usenet nerds". Of course your original post and
subsequent replies were interspersed with your usual dumb <g> <g> as if to
absolve you of any intent to embarass or annoy the individuals you listed.
And as usual, when you get the inevitable negative responses from some
inevitable responders you claim you are being *viciously attacked*. You
sure have a warped sense of what is a joke and when to post these
unsolicited "jokes". Talk about fanning the same flames that you complain
so loudly about.

OK. I see the problem. Everybody but you on the list of those who
posted more than 200 messages here since the first of the year is a
Usenet nerd. Including me. But you, obviously, are not. I don't know
why I didn't see this initially.
Also, I was wrong, you were right. The number Google Groups tallied
were the number of posts for everybody but you. For you, they were the
number of responses to your posts from others. So you should never
have been included in this list, only the others.
Finally, I should never have posted this, now or the half dozen or so
times I've done this in the past. Though this is the first time anyone
has complained, as far as I remember. It's cruel for me, for anyone,
to even joke about being a Usenet nerd, even when I include myself as
a nerd. This is one of the worst things you could ever say about a
frequent Usenet poster. I can see how you or anybody could
characterize this as a "vicious attack." That's why you have every
right to complain, over and over, about this, since you're obviously
not someone who posts a lot...
<g> OK??? Probably not. But have the last word, if you like. I'll try
my best not to respond.

And neither has yours. But you're right. I've said here repeatedly,
that I give and I get, I share information and I ask for it. THIS IS
ONE OF THE CORE PURPOSES OF USENET. I've capitalized that because you
can't seem to get this basic concept. You find it incredulous that I
ask others for information. Now, now. Don't go wacko again and make
the ludicrous accusation that this is the only way I do research. I've
also said repeatedly that for research I read through all the
literature I can find in published articles and books, search the Web,
interview experts and laypeople on the phone and in person, do testing
when appropriate, use my own informal experiences, etc., etc. But
asking in an online discussion group if anyone has information is a
VERY common and perfectly acceptable way to gather information, even
though, with me, the information I gather this way typically makes up
only a very small percentage of the information I use with any given
project. And I share information, freely, far more than I ask for it,
here and in other online forums, and have always done this. As I've
said...

From your facetious response, you obviously DON'T see the problem.
Everything you do and say is pure innocent fun. Keep it up.

I couldn't care less what my numbers were. You obviously thought your post
was insightful. Maybe I didn't. Did you ever consider that? Maybe I'm not
alone either.

I can just picture you next listing for us the 20 most ugly-sounding people
based on their posts, and including yourself in the list, prefaced by your
little Alistaire Cook introductions. Then when the comments come in, you'll
be saying what a joke it was because you even included yourself in the list.
Ha. Ha. In my case, I suspect I have more of a problem with the messenger
than the message. Sure, leave me off any future lists you can conjure up
for whatever reason you choose.

she's often sitting next to me as I read and post. We sort coins
together, evaluate auctions and coins together, set price limits
together (which is a healthier and less costly marital solution than
getting a PO Box, I think...) and discuss the hobby together.
She's often the editor here. I'll write a post and then show it to her
and ask 'Send or don't?' She was pretty fumed at Reid mentioning our
kids and doubting that she existed, but lately she just shakes her head
and says "He's sick". She's not big on posting her views, but does
follow and read most threads. She also wants to say 'Thank You' to all
the generous RCC people who have donated to or swapped with the
orphanage. ;-)
Her favorite all-time coin is the Botanic Garden Dollar, in Proof. (I
think that's because we only own an Uncirculated one, I went for the
lower mintage first.)

Actually some could care less about roses, my wife in particular. Her
flower is the Tulip. We have literally hundreds of them planted at
home(they are just starting to pop out of the ground:) And they can be
found on coins, their was one issued by the RCM which I ordered for her that
commemorated a botanic garden in Canada that was donated by the Queen of the
Netherlands.

daffs are starting up, and my rose bushes seem to have survived the winter.
Personally, I'll be surprised if State Quarters end without a sunflower
on one of them. ;-)

No foolin? My mom likes to spread peanut butter on a pine cone and roll
it in sunflower seeds. Birds like that. For my part...spring is coming

Dear Abby,
My husband is not happy with my mood swings. The other day, he bought me
a mood ring so he would be able to monitor my moods. When I'm in a good
mood it turns green. When I'm in a bad mood it leaves a big red mark on
his forehead.
Maybe next time he'll buy me a diamond.

But *mainly*, *deliberately* and, it turns out, *incompetently*, you were attempting
to poke fun at Alan for his *extraodinarily* high total. (Which was just your bogus
data anyway.)
> I wasn't "viciously attacking" myself or anyone.
No, it wasn't vicious. I never said it was.
It was in the "flayed with a limp lettuce-leaf" category.
It was, however, illtimed, poorly researched, juvenile and unwelcome.
Kinda like most of your writing.

Do you know what I do that _is_ ridiculous, Reid?
I quote your posts back at you, with a critical analysis.
Talk about silly. Expecting someone to defend the indefensible.
Please note, also, that I launch my "junk attacks" IN RESPONSE TO your original
attacks.
