Since people were VERY rude to me when I posted my requests to net.sources, Iam starting to question the usefulness of the newsgroup itself, it's not me feeling that a newsgroup should be so tightly limited, and that it is really at all called for to be rude to someone who has gone so FAR as to post something to perhaps the wrong news group. I am not going to post ANYTHING to net.wanted.sources, less you can show me that there is an equal base of people reading that news group. I don't, so allready you have lost. The next person who sends me a rude message from this news group will be written out of my will! And as for another news group for the LESS EDUCATED folk out there who are more apt to be rude in such cases, I think this is a great idea, a sort of playpen for the kiddies. The perhaps the adults can get something useful done. Reply to this with a flame, and I will post it directly to the great bit bucket in the sky, (without reading it), reply to me as you should reply to any user of this news group, or any other news group, and I will reply the same. Lets have some manners back to the net, eh? Yours In FireFighting, -- Shawn Uucp: mit-eddie!shawn Arpa: Shawn at Mit-Mc

Since I got so many good flames, ranging from (GRRRROOOWWWLLLL!!!! YOU'RE AN ASSHOLE!!!!!) to (WWWHHIMMmmmper.... PLEEEEEzze don't, honorable Sir...) I am now fully awake and no longer bored and would like to propose the creation of: (TA-DAAAAHHHH!!!) NET.ARCHIVE!!!!!!!! for all the scrambling silly little nerdware collectors out there... (In any case, it escapes me why net.sources should exist ONLY for nerdware collectors, and why EVERYBODY ELSE should just get OFF!!) Then, we can DELETE net.wanted.sources, and let everybody post their wants to net.sources along with the source-posters, and the comment-posters, and commentators, etc... This, of course, would make it incumbent upon people posting sources to post them to TWO newsgroups, which would probably be cause for Did-I-Miss-Something paranoia among the nerdware collectors, but there's probably a better chance that whoever is trying to give something away will post it all over the place, than there is that they will read net.wanted.sources over and over looking for someone to give it to. Of course, this will frustrate all the traffic cops, as they will have one less law to attempt to enforce, but... sigh... I'm sure they'll think of something (if they live long enough) - FURTHERLESS - it occurs to me that some pencil-neck with nothing better to do should be able to hatch some sort of indexing scheme for a net.archive so the nerdware collectors could REALLY go wild, and write SPECIAL magtapes with INDEXES at the front CROSS-REFERENCED by subject, author, date, version, charm, strangeness, color, etc... in FACT - maybe ein SCHTANDART could be sett up mit vhich, ve vill enKODE der ZOURCES fur der net.ARKIVE, und, if die artikles ist geposten mitout das enkoden, ve vill mit ein automatischenprocessen deleten zie!!!
