I've been through various fazes of reading and then not reading usenet over the last two years. The very first time I poked my nose into all of this two and some odd years ago, I found all sorts of info that tried to impress me with my responsibility as a participant. I was given detailed instructions about about how usenet was constructed and the various folks who put lots of their own precious time and energy into keeping the thing from falling apart. I go away for about a year and come back and I find something truly amazing! There seems to be an increase in spoiled little computer twits who seem to think that everybody in the world owes them something because they are the world's next unhailed genius who won't be recognized until several generations after their death for the incredible contributions they made to the world. I've followed the stupidities that seem to keep getting thrown at Gene. I haven't entered into it thinking that reason will prevail and all the facts will come to light calming the little nitwits out there who are probably more jealous of Spaf than anything else. From what I've seen, Spaf has done an amazing job of keeping his cool under fire and the only thing I REALLY wonder about is why he keeps trying. Look, all you jerks out there who know how to administrate usenet better than anyone else, I have a suggestion. Gain enough control of your local sites so that you can start running things locally the way you think is best. Ignore the backbone, talk to who you want, follow your own dream. You may find yourself very surprised at the way things turn out. You may find yourself very alone and isolated, you may find that usenet finally totally breaks down. Maybe the time has come for that to happen. When such a large and vocal number of people seem to find more pleasure in cutting down the people who trying to do something productive without taking any productive ACTION themselves, maybe it's time for the productive ones to move to other pastures. SHUTUP OR PUTUP. READ THE MONTHLY ANNOUNCEMENTS THAT HAVE DESCRIBED ALL THE THINGS YOU DON'T SEEM TO KNOW FOR LONGER THAN YOU'VE APPARANTLY BEEN ON THE NET. YOU DON'T LIKE IT? **CONSTRUCTIVELY** SUGGEST CHANGES OR CREATE YOU'RE OWN DAMN NETWORK. Bunch of immature little pissants! Sorry folks, I got this article late at night. I've been in a bad mood and I just drank a 1/4 bottle of Harvey's Bristol Cream. Rationality and logic went out the window hours ago, but I really have had enough of these whiny bitchy articles dumping on the backbone admins for trying to do their jobs. DOWN WITH USENET! (My only prayer at this point is that george@sysvis was attempting some form of subtle sarcasm or teasing that goes over my head. Well, I'm still annoyed. tough, I can be as childish as the worst of you out there!)
