Hey folks, the UMA control freaks are up to their old tricks once again. I
suggest you look after your own interests and get into us.config for
representation. Right now, the Control Group is shouting everyone down that
disagrees with them. They are losing a bit of steam but their tricks are
still present.

If you wish for them to control the complete US.* and make the rules on who
can and can't post, abuse the rules themselves while enforcing them with an
iron hand, don't get involved and let the whole shebang go down the tubes
fast.

I suggest that you need to get involved and get what is best for all instead
of what one small group demands that you want (they want).

I'm one of the people he's complaining about, but if you have a

Excuse me, but as a former enlisted man, I am naturally suspicious of
anything that uses such a blatant address. I am also suspicious of any
"by invitation only" group, whether it be the BPOE (Elks), the Masons,
or a newgroup.

Is there some sort of secret handshake?

What "by invitation only" group???

Bill White simply suggested you look in on us.config,
the administrative group for the us.* hierarchy. In
addition to those above there are:- us.military.army,
us.miliyary.navy, us.legal, us.legal.self-represent,
us.politics and ten more

BTW: Bill is National Guard on active duty somewhere.

Well, Bonnie. Think of this. One small group from one NG area decided that
the Hiearchy Admin must be replaced. This was, of course, after a series of
defeats in attempting to "Demand" changes that could not be done in a sane
world. They decided to take it to the next limit. Flood the area where
nothing else could get done with Group Mission Trolling and Posting
messages. You all know the definition of a Mission Troll. Now, do it using
people that plan their every move using Email and Phone Calls. It's usually
pretty affective unless someone in the Power Seat notices it. It was
noticed.

The formation of a Committee to replace the current Admin would be made up
primarily of these folks that have lost every battle in us.config. Don't
take it for their face value. Henrietta Thomas is the Admin for us.*. Ask
her her opinion. Then stand back and watch the bunch go to work.

Ask questions and you make your own determination. Choice is a wonderful
thing. Don't let someone else make it for you. You took the first step.
Now, generate some questions for others to answer.

It is a newsgroup just like this one, not sponsered by DOD at all.

And it isn't invitation only, RTO was just extending the invitation.

Yes, ask questions. More importantly look at the post at the beginning of

Or read a number of post from each poster. daryl, myself, snark, HKT, Ed.

The more that joins in with pertinent inputs and opinions whether they be
for or against anything does help and if the Committee is formed it gives a
more crosshatch of ideals since there are more people to give those inputs.
It delutes one small group and usually is much healther for all involved.

Don't get me wrong. I am not against the Commitee idea. I presented
roughly the same idea 2 years ago. I am just against the current method and
the results if successful. But the basic idea is a sound one if all get

Once again you have failed to answer a very simple and straightforward
question. Now -- without resorting to slogans, generalities and statements
of principle -- How will the outcome of the current bickering over


administration of the us.* series of newsgroups affect the average
non-administrator's experience in participating in discussions held in

The quick story is this. The documents that give us.* its form say a
committee will be formed to manage us.*. They don't say much else.
An RFD to support a committee followed by a poll indicates about 75%
of those who responded want a committee.

The hierarchy Admin, Henrietta Thomas, (the position is described as
"temporary" pending the formation of a comittee in us.* documents) has
denied the validity of the RFD, saying she has complete control of
us.* for as long as she likes.

Daryl Hunt, who is one of two of Ms. Thomas' supporters, has stated
she is the evil people know, and that's preferable to the unknown evil
of a committee. So, with that recommendation, you can see that even
one of her supporters is highly disatisfied.

You might find it interesting. Take your asbestos undies... just in
case.

There is no 'by invitation only" rule. Its a public, unmoderated

case, don't go. The more people that get involved the better it is a
crosshatch of what the majority wishes.

And you will notice that one of the responses to you is by one of the "IN"

Until something changes and more people become involved, that's the way it
is. What I am trying to do is to get more people involved. This is the
only way that I can see to get what we both want. But to do it using the
Group Mission Trolls only leavens them in charge and that would trash the
whole system. Many of us have seen how they attempt to dictate in the one
group and it's been quite apparent in us.config as well. If we can get a
large number of interested people involved in the process that should dilute
the problem enough to finally get the committee we need.

You are giving misinformation once again. The count is much higher. But I
notice that when someone does disagree (not necessarily agreeing with HKT)
one of your new found friends goes to work on them. You are sided with
Group Mission Trolls who DEMAND that they control things. Of course he
snipped anything of value of the original poster. The method used is to
snip it down to not meaning a thing and then gang posting to bury it by the
group. Is this what you want in charge of the entire Hiearchy including
this one?

Four posts in the last week alone, Daryl. And I voted in the RFD, which
