Michael, I've been asked by the committee to speak with you. Stand up
straight. This is an official meeting. The reason you're not on Barb's
list is because in 1996, you posted that beets were not the work of the
devil. I'm sorry to bring up your ugly past, but it's best that you
know. Somebody get him a hankie. I hate to see grown men cry like that.
So, at this point, you're on probation for another 34 years. I'm sure
they'll fly by and then you'll get on the list again.

Until then orgetfay the eetsbay.

Yahbut, wasn't there a thread in RFC a few years ago that was a
massive flame war between the U.S. and European posters? It went on
forEVER. Anyone remember the header on that one? It was worse than the
flame war a few years ago in rec,sports.golf that was about the Ryder
Cup, and that's saying something. 'Course that was U.S. vs. Europe
then, too.

I'm not on there, either, but we both made Katra's list. 🙂

I think we tend to congregate into groups of people who relate to each
other on similar levels in some aspect(s). It's not a bunch of cliques,
just people who are comfortable more with some people than with others.
Also, the heavy posters have more people who "know" them, so they/we have
clusters of super-friends, friends, casual acquaintances, and those who
want us dead.

I like the people on Barb's and Katra's lists, plus many, many more. It

Cathy,

One thing that can improve your and others experience is to write a
subject line that's somewhat to the point.

This thread's subject line would have been better called "The Longest
Thread?" or something that peouple could later go back and search for the
thread and reconstruct it for example.

Point taken and done..

Quoted message said:

There was a thread about burgers, but the subject line had a typo
"bugers" which every newsreader that I know, wouldn't find if users
searched for burgers. As a result, all the beneficial posts about burgers
are for lack of a better word, lost.

You get the idea.

Think I do

But it's anarchy in Usenet for the most part. Don't write a libel about

Already having fun thanks! What I can't figure out is why people get
quite so rude... defeats the object of the NG if you see what I mean. Oh
well.

And don't feed the trolls! They're fed every night after Usenet closes.

Got that the first day I lurked... can't handle them, and luckily they

She's a TV cook. I don't watch FoodTV and don't care about the exploits of
their stars, so I've KFed every mention of any of the shows, with the
exception of Alton Brown. Haven't heard anything about him lately. 🙁
