As quoted from <1691@rti.UUCP> by wfi@rti.UUCP (William Ingogly): +--------------- | And that's why I'm unsubscribing to a newsgroup I've obtained occasional | enjoyment from over the past several years. I don't feel many of the | posters out there share any of my interests in the genre, and I am leaving | this group for the same reason I unsubscribed to Amazing magazine: it bores | ... | If you want to know what originally brought me to this group (I doubt | many of you care), ask some of the old-timers about the exchanges we | had in the past: myself, Charlie Martin, Davis Tucker, Laura Creighton, | Steve Brust, and others. It seems anyone who cares about the genre on | more than a trivial level has disappeared from the group. Adios to any +--------------- Of couse, some of these people (Brust) are no longer on the net, as far as I know. Maybe it's time to set up a moderated alt.sf-lovers newsgroup for the *real* SF-Lovers (define "real"/my SF is better than yours!/nyaah nyahh/etc. to /dev/null). Any volunteers for moderator? (DON'T ask me! I'll do it as a last resort, but I'd like to see someone else (Laura Creighton?) try it first.) Followups should probably be directed to alt.config. -- Brandon S.
