Just to say bye and thanks for the responses. It's
good to be able to talk back after reading so many posts! Regarding why we think it's worth the effort, well I guess most people wont search through the imports unless they allready know what they want. Believe me there is alot of c**p out there to get through to find decent information. Anyway, happy posting! -- --------------------------------- --- -- - Posted with NewsLeecher v3.9 Final Web @ http://www.newsleecher.com/?usenet ------------------- ----- ---- -- - |

Regarding why we think it's worth the effort, well I guess most people wont search through the imports unless they allready know what they want. Believe me there is alot of c**p out there to get through to find decent information. Anyway, happy posting! I appreciate your efforts, but as you can see, there are a lot of people who are very antagonistic to any compilation and republication of usenet posts, even though they are freely available on the servers and on Google archives. I know, because I am one of those who are on many regulars' killfiles. I also included many posts (but mostly my own), in a document that describes my early experiences with this NG. You may read it at www.smart.net/~pstech/Muttley/MuttleyStory.htm. You can see what an effort it was just to compile the information that I deemed relevant to the story of my dog Muttley and me. Perhaps you might consider creating a moderated newsgroup, but I doubt that you will get much traffic. Part of the attraction of usenet is the lack of censorship, except that which is selectively imposed by individuals. I don't use killfiles, as I find it easy enough to MAR (Mark As Read) the majority of JH's abusive and lengthy posts, although sometimes I read them, as they can be entertaining. I see no reason to killfile any others, even though they might sometimes be abusive and off-topic. It is enlightening to see what people are saying, even if they are in a rage or meltdown mode. It can be difficult to scan content for vulgarity. I once had a post censored on a technical forum because I used the word "scrape", which was censored to read "s****e". BTW, perhaps SOL might mean "Swearing Out Loud". Paul and Muttley |
