Why only tx.guns
bohab
Either I don't have full access to all the newsgroups out there
or tx.guns is the only state specific gun newsgroup.
Are there any other usenet gun groups out there besides
alt.politics guns, rec.guns and tx.guns?

So? Texas should be a country to itself anyway, and a rational
Texas populace would see that and secede from the rest of the
pathetic couch potatoes tomorrow.

Why do you care? Do you have a deep, unfilled need to discuss
firearms in Delaware?

tx.motorcycles is on topic for guns, biker-chicks or motorcycles. We do
come down hard on posers who talk about guns or motorcycles but dont have
either. Wannaby biker-chicks are acceptible. You can ignore the TX as we
have regulars from canada and visitors from down under too.

Yes I do.
Just thought it was curious that only one state out of 50 gets a gun related
newsgroup
full of crossposting trolls, leftists, and smarmy John Stovall wannabes.

What crap? I simply made a personal comment about Texas being a
state versus a country, and followed that up with a question
about why felt there was a need for more state-specific gun
groups. I wasn't upset, so you must be instead. Who has the

Interesting. Well, perhaps you are unaware that you have the
opportunity to rectify that problem. Since the state
hierarchies are not part of the "Big Eight" newsgroups, it's
probably easier in most states than normal. Google for "create
newsgroup Usenet", etc.

I guess that means only one state had someone willing to lobby
for the creation of the group, MANY years ago. Perhaps you will
start a few more. good luck.

I know some folks who are just now discovering usenet and were curious
as to why Texas gets a gun newsgroup and Idaho doesn't.
Of course if we get california.guns think of all the awful crossposted
garbage
we will have to endure.

This crap "Why do you care? Do you have a deep, unfilled need to discuss
firearms in Delaware?" You can, as a regular (regular what we are still
debating) at least answer with out editorials.

Many of those groups have 0 post count or little gun content.
Just trolls, spam, bush bashing and moonbeam dingbat la la and rainbows.
I miss the days of fidonet where serious conversations could take place
without the constant shower of excrement.

There are about 100:

Most of them are full of garbage. I find moderated message boards more

Yeah, talk about an exercise in futility.
You have to wonder about people who piss off those they consider violent

That was a legit question. If you don't like it, that's your
problem, not mine.

That was a somewhat less serious question, aimed at wondering
how many state-specific groups were really needed. Again, if
you don't like the question, that's your problem, not mine.

Idaho /probably/ doesn't have a very large Usenet user

*shudder*
I suspect the entire california.* hierarchy would suffer from a

Some folks think the same could be said for tx.guns of recent
years, especially the post-AOL years. :-)

Several things were going on back then, but fidonet was not
completely free of BS either. However, it had a much, much
higher s/n than we have today. Partly because the traffic
volume was lower, and the folks participating represented a much
smaller segment of the general population, one more technically
savvy, with equipment that was much more expensive at the time
than computer hardware today.
Now, any moron can buy a computer for $500 and start to spout
off to an audience on Usenet, where in real life, nobody would
give them the time of day.

IOW, with a few exceptions, only moderated newsgroups are able
to withstand the onslaught of spam and trolls. Fortunately,
despite the fact that it is trivially easy to spam a moderated
group, most of these dolts aren't familiar with how to do so. I
am somewhat amazed (yet glad) that the particulars of how to
accomplish that aren't understood by those folks.

True spammers (XXX, See Alice, etc.), though despicable, probably
realize that it's not worth the effort of spamming rec.guns because they
would not get the response that they are looking for. Spammers depend
upon ignoramuses and desperate people (broke, fat, bald, impotent guys)
to follow their links or buy their crap.
Most of the pollution in this newsgroup is from trolls who are looking
for follow-ups to gratify them.
On the subject of why other states would want or need local gun groups
and why someone from Texas would be interested in them -- California,
Florida, and Virginia have large, tech-savvy populations of shootists
and I'm surprised they don't have local groups. (They might have Yahoo
groups or something. I'm too lazy to look.)
California is in dire need of political motivation. The CRPA is fairly
active. I hear interviews with their members on NRA News frequently.
Interstate questions pop up in rec.guns all the time, for example, "I'll
be visiting Las Vegas for a couple of weeks. Is there a good place to
go shooting in the desert?" It's hard to find that kind of information
on the web.

What does my opinion of whether or not a particular post is
trolling or not has any opinion whatsoever relative to the
rarity of such posters having the ability to bypass the
restrictions in moderated newsgroups?
Or, are you just feeling insulted because you don't know how to
do something so trivial yourself?
