Golly!

Unless the connection of our node (homxb) to the net is faulty, it seems that the main topic of discussion in this newsgroup is computer problems. That topic seems to fit better in net.flame: Net.rumor should be used to support the broadcast, confirmation, and/or denial of rumors. Aaron Michael Chesir I homxb!aaron

Re: Aaron Chesir's article
Aaron, Aaron...
The various computer "horror" stories of the past
few weeks have concerned various humorous ( depending on
your point-of-view :-) incidents concerning computers. I
don't think net.flame is really appropriate for these
since they are not complaints. Maybe a net.stories should
exist?
Anyway, I think they make net.rumor fun to read!
Who knows, maybe the stories are rumors?! Hmmmm...

I propose a new news group: net.horror. The possibilities of what might appear in it boggles the mind!

Durston Some of the computer horror stories in net.rumor may start out as first-hand stories, but by the second time they're told, they are already rumors. This is evidenced by the fact that most people will probably recount the stories they read in net.rumor by starting with that infamous phrase, "I heard that ...." Michael Kokodyniak

Net.flame is essentially dead (or at least severely comatose). Saying "that should go in net.flame" is no longer valid for most sites. Actually, the proper place for these would be net.bizarre (since these are strange-but-true events) but that is also dead as a net group. -- "We are going to give a little something, a few little years more, to socialism, because socialism is defunct.

Re: net.horror: That sounds like a really neat idea! I suggest that this
discussion be formalized wherever it is supposed to be formalized. Long
live the forces of weird and bizzare!
