Re: I wish some of you damn people would grow up! <OT>
I've been using Usenet newsgroups for well over 10 years, I know how
they work. When they work like they are supposed to it's a kind of
cheerful anarchy. People got off topic, sometimes they get pissed and
fuss at each other, and there are the damn spammers... all of those
things are facts of life in Usenet.
This childish, stupid idiocy that we see here, with a small handful of
people going off on each other and with 10's or more posts, usually with
the exactly the same copied and pasted garbage is something else
again... at least the damn spammers are trying to make a dishonest buck,
these guys haven't even risen to that level.

they work. When they work like they are supposed to it's a kind of
cheerful anarchy. People got off topic, sometimes they get pissed and
fuss at each other, and there are the damn spammers... all of those
things are facts of life in Usenet.
This childish, stupid idiocy that we see here, with a small handful of
people going off on each other and with 10's or more posts, usually with
the exactly the same copied and pasted garbage is something else
again... at least the damn spammers are trying to make a dishonest buck,
these guys haven't even risen to that level.
