Fuck you Lardo. I have never done any of the shit you have accused me of. Why don't you just kill yourself? You are the most pathetic no talent, no

Why is one of your members cross posting to the SMPP NG with this
bullshit?

What a fucking joke. "You don't know who you're fucking with...."

Please, people. Nothing weaker than cyber shit talking.

The SMPP NG is full of sick, desperate men. Nothing scares us. In
fact, this joker making the "threats" would be laughed out of our
group.

Please refrain from such cross posting in the future. Thanks,

Lardo,
Quit fucking lying. I don't give a fucking rat's ass about you. I don't
have the time to worry about you. You are a fat fuck deluded no talent
fuck. Quit making up bullshit and learn you to play the drums. That way you
may be able to get a gig and stop being such a pathetic troll. Your threats
to me are really funny. What do you think you could do to me Lardo? I am
younger than you, smarter than you, faster than you, FAR faster and FAR
stronger. Make the world a better place and kill yourself tonight. Pussy.

Hello, George. By no means was I referring to any of the crossposters
from rmmp! We have been thoroughly enjoying this discussion, tm (whom
we claim for the next several centuries as our very own wonderboy) and
yours truly; and, IIRC, both tm and yours truly are on record as having
said so.

By George, I swear I was referring to the other 99,999 groups and their
inane crossposters, all of whom we do not claim.

I apologise profusely if you mistakenly believed I was directing my
offhand comments towards any of your many fine posters or your lively
contributions to alt.config this past week.

Hiya, Good Mornin', Bill Ray:
You're lookin' like a mill this a.m.!

> So is it safe to say that maybe...just maybe we have a "sister group"
(not
> unlike "sister cities") in alt.config?

Well, b/cuz of the conjunction of the Moons of Uranus with the
Coprolitic Suns of Jupiter, this might just prove a wise move on both
our parts. Let's keep it in mind, shall we? Firstly, however, you'd
have to become pro-anal-retentactive, though, as tm will prolly explain,
since we're rabid when it comes to top-posters. I've taken the liberty
of moving your top-posted msg down here where it shoulda been; but, if
you can clean up your top-posting pecadilloes, we're in biz!

> It could be a very proactive alliance, IMHO. :-)

I wholeheartedly agree -- imagine the possibilites... The mind
boggles... And, then, of course, you'd have to take the Cybarian Oath
of Allegiance, you know? Part of the initiation process. LMK if you're
serial and then, your NGers and our NGers will consider our options. Do
keep us abreast of developments :). BTW, you like "good beer?"

Zoė

[giarcman]

Now, on this top-posting business...feels a bit like "toilet seat up or
down?" Me, I never understood that one either.

Ass safely on the porcelain, shriner hat safely on head, drumsticks safely
in the pocket,

Well, C., I don't see your point at all, sorry; but,
if you think the issue bears comparison with
toilet-seat positions, you're not entirely on the
ball, IMO. There are valid reasons why top-posting's
discouraged in this medium where communication is key
and kingpin. Most Netiquette FAQs explain them far
better than yours truly could. Why not do a quick
search on Google for RFC1855 and see what that FAQ
says about top- and bottom-posting in terms of
facilitating communication? Other than that, I is so
happy yer ass is safely on the porcelain :) but, in
Canada, we have toilet seats, man. Porcelain's a
rude assault on the ass's sensitive flesh, especially
during the winter months :). Why not invest in a
toilet seat and start bottom-posting so we can move
on to the good stuff, like "good beer?"

Mark,
I also hate scrolling to the bottom of a monster post. It's even worse
when you try to read an old post on groups.google.com: the post is
truncated, and you have to follow a link to see the bottom of the
post.

But those who write guides on Netiquette (the Emily Posters? ) think
otherwise. Here's an example:

http://fmf.fwn.rug.nl/~anton/topposting.html

Perhaps one of the keys is their point #4:

"To prevent hideously long posts with a minimal account of new text,
it is good Usenet practice to remove the non-relevant parts and
optionally summarize the relevant parts of the original post, with
regard to one's reply."

Now, if I could only figure out how to find the relevant part of some
of the posts I read. 8-)

I won't claim relevance for the posts I write.

Fun reading. I liked the part about how it wasn't a rule. Usenet plus
time plus overeating plus lack of sun plus unexpressed sexuality =
scrupulosity.

Scrupulosity is a great sociological principle. I think famous
non-stinky Frenchman Emile Durkheim came up with it. Anyway, the idea
is that a society MUST define a fixed percentage of behavior as
deviant. As society does away with certain clearly deviant behaviors
(for instance, not too many human sacrifices anymore), they have to add
new, not-as-obviously-deviant behaviors into the pile to maintain that
constant percentage. Thus, in Singapore, where people aren't shooting
each other in schools, you get the crap caned out of your ass for
spitting out gum in the street.

So it comes to pass that, in lieu of absolute deviance, top-posting
becomes verbotten.

Scrupulously yours,

C.

I don't have "current view" as an option. This is v5.0.2 for what it's
worth. I do check "threaded" to make them threaded. However, they won't
thread more than one level, where as Netscape Messenger, for instance,
continually indents responses. Also, if I sort the threads by date, they
automatically "unthread" and just expand out. The only way I can see to read
them threaded is by organizing them by subject, which alphabetizes the
headers. Just dumb. Eff Microsoft.

OE 4.5 for the Mac does everything perfectly. And I mean perfectly.
I tried the newer versions and they screwed up everything-- typical
Microsoft; fixing what ain't broke. Idiots!

Specifically to what Craig refers, 4.5 nests threads in order of
reply *in the thread.* AND you can list them by date, new to old,
while still in the thread. The newer versions will only let you do
either or. HELLO!? Talk about a giant leap backwards.

Mark, please accept my apology. I am a newbie in your newsgroup, you're
absolutely right about that. I suppose I thought you were being sarcastic
because we were quibbling about top- versus bottom-posting and you were saying
such lovely things but your message, like this one, was top-posted. Is all.
I genuinely appreciate your compliments, don't get me wrong. Who doesn't like
to hear good things about themselves? We're all simply human beings muddling
through life's miraculous vistas and, if someone makes us feel gooder, even
better :). Thanks for making me feel much gooder, Mark, I hope your evening's

No problemo, Zoė. Again, welcome to the fray.

My newsreader does it this way (the top posting, I mean), and frankly I
would have no idea how to change it, even if I was going to comply with the
Usenetiquette. Again, though, I still think the top posting makes more
sense - it creates less work for the reader, no?

Exactly Mark!

Let me explain this a little further... We're drummers. The nightmare of
every mother in law. Work shy, uneducated, lazy and smelly,
langhaired,tattood scum. The paria of the band :)))
Either that or we're jazz musicians.

In any case, it's less work, you do the math.
I sure as hell am not...

Just kiddin, welcome to the shriners watering hole.

Top-posting works ok if one is simply making
an offhand remark about the entire previous post,
and if everyone else is doing it as well. As soon as
someone makes a point by point reply to the
previous poster the thread immediately becomes
undecipherable when someone then adds a top-post.

IOW, if you're going to participate in a serious
discussion you must put your remarks after that
to which you are responding if the thread is to
be at all understandable to others reading it.

I'm an American. We only argue for a little while. Then somebody
gets their ass bit off.
But thanks for sharing;
Hugs and Kisses;

Yay Zoė!!

Nice to meet you too. We'll have to find a spare fez for you and a pair of
drumsticks (preferrably ones that Schuh wasn't squatting on grinning like a
maniac) :-)
Rock on.........

Well............. Yes. Section 14, subsection 3a, paragraph 4 states
" You must at all times be polite when asking Fucking jerks, Assholes
and any unwanted person to remove themselves from your real property."
example: Please get of my fucking lawn you no use waste of dog shit.
Thank you. The thank you only applies if the aforementioned "no use
waste of dog shit" complies.

Which one reason why I've stayed with the old text-based NewsWatcher.
It works.
