Hey guys, grow up!! I just started reading net.startrek, and I'm really dis- appointed. I also read net.comics, and net.tv.drwho, and nowhere else do I find such behaviour. Sometimes there are 3 or more answers to the same questions! The worst of it though, is the petty bickering of you guys. Please give me a break! We are all supposed to be friends, remember?? Cool out! Star Trek is a fun show, we are fun people, RIGHT???

Are you referring to one person anwering more than once? I assume not, so... How the H**l are we supposed to know if someone else is responding? If we waited for someone else to respond we could be here for a long time. (Sounds like a queueing (sp) problem to me!) I hope I expressed myself so that you can understand (this is Not an insult!)

One doesn't *know* if something has been answered. But, a little self control and thought should go into postings. One should consider whether the question is so simple that *everyone* would know it and then not post. ("Does anyone remember the real identities of Batman and Robin?" really filled up a group for a while last year. And no, don't answer it. Everyone but the poster knew it was/is Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson. And everyone posted an article stating that.) > If we waited for someone else to respond we could be here for a long time. If there is a doubt as to whether something is "known by all," *mail* a reply to the poster. This goes against our natural tendencies to want to see our own name in 'print.' But it is the 'human' thing to do. (Sorry, couldn't resist. Oh, :-) by all means.) -- Fred @ DEC Ultrix Applications Center UUCP: {decvax,seismo,cbosgd}!decuac!avolio INET: avolio@decuac.DEC.COM
