I really don't see why David's initial posting should be any more
offensive than all the other (even more) off-topic postings in this
newsgroup.

At least there's programming overlap, even if the mode of transmission
is different.

No one seems to get the least bit riled up when Cuhulin starts up his
nonsense about Lassie Come Home or when he begins his tired old routine
of reliving the hopelessly dated humor of Dr. Strangelove.

But, really, the back-and-forth is not so much about on-topic v.
off-topic....it's primarily about usenet ego wars between a handful of
individuals in the group. If they have nothing else to do with their
time, then I suppose they may as well have fun going at it... The
ranting that ensues contributes just as little to the group as anything
else, ultimately resulting in only another long thread about nothing
being contributed to the archive.

So be it...that's just the way things work here.

Carry on, folks! ;-)


Well I guess you pegged it. The truth is, I really don't like Dave. Welcome
