I'm mortified. I've been waiting here for years just to impress you

And I'm not too impressed with the quality of the newbies we've been
getting recently. Are there possible newbies who understand that they're
not special and important to us just because they're bi, or are they
all so enamored with themselves that they just assume we care about
them?

The slowness can be mostly attributed to a large proportion of us being in
New York for a party, and the rest of us sulking that we can't be there too.
You haven't been reading for long, have you? Or you'd have realised that.
As others have pointed out, we're not actually here to impress you. But
stick around for a bit longer, and you may be surprised.

Huh. It would be helpful if you could:
- maintain a consistent name and address. Are you Leanne or John ?
- Not snip *everything* when you reply. It's considered polite to
quote the bits to which you are responding, leaving in the attribution
line (that bit up there that starts out: "In article", though it looks
different with different news posters), and putting your response
after the bit to which you're responding.
And I'd strongly suggest you read the FAQ, it'll probably help a lot
in understanding some of what goes on and some of the responses you
may get. For instance, there's a long history of self-centered,
ignorant people showing up and being upset that people take
exception to their incorrect or offensive remarks, and even more
upset that people don't rush to give them all the adoration and awe
to which they feel entitled. It's not too hard to wander in here
and look like a caricature of The Clueless Newbie, and not have any
idea of why people respond as they do.
It's a text medium, the group has a long history, what you make of
it is up to you.

Bah. That's why I forgo "newbie" messages altogether when I start posting
somewhere, there's no reason to be so formal. Besides, nobody ever replies to
them anyway because newsgroups get so many in a day, and the people rarely
stick around. It's a fruitless thing to apply yourself to, making newbies feel
welcome. If you have something to say, just say it and you'll eventually gel
into the dynamic, or you won't. IOW, wing it.

Nope. We newbies are self absorbed leeching fuckheads. That's the rule.
After we get beat to shit a couple of times we start to learn, but it takes a
while.
Pardon the language if it's not appropriate to this newsgroup. I haven't had a

here, please slap my mouth and I'll cut it out.

i'd recommend reading the FAQ since it sounds like you have yet to do
so. although i don't recall that it addresses cussing and the
like--maybe *i'd* better go reread it.
you've posted to swlab, though, haven't you? your name is familiar.

It didn't say anything much beyond the typical definition of bisexuality, which
is a question I've already answered for my own purposes, but it was good
reedin. I did appreciate the acronyms thing at the bottom. Very useful.
Nice to know that there won't be endless conversations on what a "true
bisexual" is anyway... that stuff bores me to tears.

My guess is that all the cookies Bitty baked at piglet's party got
consumed before they cooled, but I wasn't there, so I can't say for
sure ... until the pictures come out.
But I don't believe soc.bi does cookies, they do muffins instead.
I'll just edge over here out of the way, in case any of the regular

Yes. This is why, after awhile, ever soc.biter is given a large

> Pardon the language if it's not appropriate to this newsgroup.
While there certainly aren't any official limits about cussing
for the group, the convention here seems to be the "reasonable
use" found elsewhere. For one shitty example, I don't fucking
swear like I goddamn used to here, because after a fucking while
they get pretty fucking bland so you can't fucking use them for
a little damn emphasis.

I haven't seen a flame war about cussing[1], some I'm guessing that
it's not a problem. I have started flame wars about unnecessary
ellipses, though.

The newsgroup varies. Sometimes there's huge numbers of messages a
day, other times it goes quiet. This is one of those quiet times, it
seems. I suspect that some of it's because many of us have been
visiting Piglet for the soc.bi 10th anniversary party, and everyone
else has been dying of mortification :)

Well "Magic cow", i don't like you very much. I really don't think there was
any need for your cruel, pathetic little message. What age are you? Are you
a bitter, lonely person with little else to do? Or did i simply disgust and
annoy you so much that you had to come down on me like a ton of bricks??
Sorry to anyone i offended in the slightest...but i really don't think i
made any cruel remarks to single any one person out. I simply made a general
comment. I do understand that i shouldn't have just marched into a ng almost
demanding a response. I understand your points there fully. :o)
I think you have jumped the gun here though. I am a nice, fair,
open-minded person basically just looking for conversation, not necessarily
on bisexuality, but in a place amongst people who share "one" thing with me.
Please don't be so quick off the mark and i won't.
Oh, and by the way, i can write!!!!!!

So, what's the point of the "What age are you ?" ? Are you going to
make fun of his age if he's 96 ? Are you going to make fun of his
age if he's 14 ? What *was* the point of that, again ?

And you don't have any context for the local humor, and you appear
to be well on your way to a "bitter old queen" remark. *Nice* start !
It looks to me as though you've just proved Adam's assessment of you
as someone who isn't quite over themself. I'd hesitate to ascribe
"nice" to:
>I really don't think there was

But maybe "nice" means something different where you come from.

Hm, I didn't see any flame war.
Ayana
Ayana Craven
I think this was one of Beth's Usenet Hints, but as usual I don't
have it on file, so I'll paraphrase:
The best way to edn a flame war is ignore it, post to other threads
on other topics, and conduct yourself in a way that you're proud of.
That includes resisting the temptation to respond to every article
that is a response to you -- remember that Usenet isn't
deterministic, so a person may see some articles and not yet see
others, so if you've said something stupid and then retracted it,
you may still see replies to your first post that ignore the
retraction -- that may be because they haven't *seen* the
retraction. Or the clarification, or apology, or the long, incisive
and beautiful rant that you posted just before your computer
crashed, which is now probably a pile of rusty bits in the server
room.

Ayana Craven
Ah, actually, if anybody hasn't been here for a week or so, be aware
that there's one or more trolls posting from throwaway accounts, and
one or more individuals who try to forge articles as though they
came from other people. The forgeries are usually flagged because
the headers contain the message that the article has passed through
an anonymous gateway, and so the apparent sender of the article is
not, in fact, the actual sender. But if you aren't familiar with
Usenet and newsreader software, you might not be able to pick out
the forgeries. You can always ask. This is a pretty decent place
to get an education on such matters.

Some Outlook Express can handle multiple identities; this makes it
easier to switch posting names, .sig file settings, newsgroup
subscriptions etc.
If one simply cannot stomach OE as a newsreader, or can't remember to
switch identities after startting it up, I suggest that each person
use a different newsreader. WinVN and Agent are both pretty good.

No, there were definitely cooled cookies at various points. Although
I wish I'd snagged more of those wonderful cinnamon ones (those were
Bitty's, right?) while I could...

I, for one, am too tired from the hour[24] of bicycling required to
get from the Greyhound[-1] node back to my room to be leaping after
muffins.
--Jed, whose footnotes have run away...
[24] 40 minutes for the bike path itself, but more time to get from
there to/from my actual source/destination. And then there's... well,
all I'll say here is that it's worth at least one purity-test
question.
@@@ Warning: rather less light-hearted footnotes begin here @@@
[-1] Now, had I known they'd banned all edged metal items, and were
searching[-4] people's bags[-9] and persons for same, after a
hijacking incident where a driver was killed (on top of, of course,
That[-12]) I might have thought to take my Leatherman Micra off of my
keys before leaving --- as it was I running around at the last minute
and barely got everything packed in time --- but I didn't, and I
didn't, and they confiscated it, and now they may well have lost it.
Figures.

Cleveland by dint of seeing security guards coming up the line using
wand metal detectors and poking through people's bags. No actual

it says that you should have called an hour earlier--i don't think i've

not that that would have helped since my voice message did not get

do you see the part up top of this post where the words "Leanne Townsend

snipping that tells everyone who wrote the words that appear in your
posts to which you are responding. i've gone back in above and added
the words <reinserting: ayana craven wrote> because you are responding
to a post that she made and it is considered thoughtful to leave in that

Heh. Our rehearsal last night ended early -- partly because it was the
first rehearsal for a concert, and those always seem to end early (I
don't know why), but mostly because our conductor had terrible
laryngitis and could scarcely make a sound. By 9:00 or so everybody's
throat was hurting in sympathy.

I thought it was already a euphemism for 'gay', though? As in, "He's a very
nice boy".

Er, I don't really know how it is around your area, but around
here, the only times I hear that, the speaker absolutely does *not*
mean "he's gay", although that is frequently the case.
Ayana, who think this is hilarious

have you seen ryne sandburg lately? and i don't think he can carry off
the "i shaved my head" look as well as mark grace has, either.

No, but then again he's not still playing in the majors.

Now you mention it, I don't think I've seen him with his hat
off. Well, there will be further opportunities next week.

Quite. I look a lot older than I did when _A Hard Day's Night_ came
out, too.

Eek. The "him" I was referring to is Grace, not Sandberg.

Nor do I.
Also, you've given me a Britney Spears earworm, and that's not helping
anyone either. (-:

Or the joke in one of Scott Adams's books (it may or may not be
originally his, though):
"Our company is skilled in many other things that are not
reported by the biased media" =>
"Our company __ _killed __ m___ other th____ ____ __e ___

She did say she'd been talking to auditors all day.
My singing teacher would say the same thing - but if I had to sing a lot
of them, in a choir setting and after a tiring day, she'd understand (but
disapprove).

I would concur with your spelling checker. 'Cussing' is usually
informal or dialect; 'cursing' would be less marked. 'Fucking' is, at
least at a spelling-checker's level of comprehension, neutral.
Kay, wondering whether he can successfully promote 'swiving',
'japing', 'sarding', 'occupying', and so on, to lessen the 'fucking'
density.
