Have you had enough? Are you sick of flames and dictionary wars? Do you want to "teach those jerks a lesson"? If you do (gosh, I'm tired of having to read things in this newsgroup that have nothing at all to do with the newsgroup) then I recommend that you extract and save the text below. Next time you read inane postings that don't belong in the newsgroup, mail the message below to the poster. Personally, I have tried every method known to me to entice those that post non-newsgroup creation/modification/deletion messages here to move them, this is the last attempt I can think of. Mass junk mail. If all of us who use this group for what it was designed for start to mass mail the below message to the offenders, maybe they will have enough sense to go somewhere else. My bloody kill file is getting too damn big! jmi [fed up with improper posting of items (and cross-posting)] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To <insert name of jerk here> Thank you for posting your trash in NEWS.GROUPS. In case you were unaware, N.G. has a very specific purpose, and that is to be a location for the discussion and development of new newsgroups and modifications on existing newsgroups. The processes associated with the use of the newsgroup are clearly outlined and posted monthly. Try reading them. In the future, if you desire to make an ass out of yourself in public, I would recommend that you also try posting your trash to COMP.UNIX (very wide distribution and retention), COMP.UNIX.WIZARDS (same here), REC.HUMOR (high readership level) and maybe even *.AQUARIA (just for the hell of it). If you would like to discuss newsgroup creation, naming and things of that nature, please feel free to do so within this newsgroup, otherwise, blow your flames out of your... you get the meaning... don't you? [This has been a form letter. If you are real lucky, you should only get of few of them. If you continue to mispost into the N.G newsgroup you will get many more. If you don't mind losing the diskspace, I'm sure the readers of the newsgroup will be happy to mail enough of these to you to paper your walls.] Thank you for your kind consideration to the other netters. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Only a very naive person would believe that. Read this group and
you will find that news.groups is just a euphenism for alt.flame.

In case you were unaware... Thank you for posting your trash in NEWS.GROUPS. In case you were unaware... Hey, you said you have kill files? Do a control-K shift-A /: jeffd/:j and you need never see a Jeff Daiell article again. Not enough? Try "/: ficc/:j" Oh, I forgot - your kill file is getting too big. Well, what, is that breaking rn or something or does the aesthetic displeasure of having a big kill file force you to read articles you otherwise wouldn't? I smile when I see a bunch of articles get junked by my kill files or 'k' of a thread, but some people can't seem to stand the thought that they might be missing something that might offend them. So use your kill file. Then you won't have to post stuff stuff to news.groups that isn't about proposals for new groups, eh? -- -- uunet!ficc!karl "...as long as there is a Legion of super-Heroes, uunet!sugar!karl all else can surely be made right." -- Sensor Girl
