Some bozo who constantly yammers on, posting when he usually has little
to say, posting links rather than real comments, posting in a completely
unreadable style, constantly changing subject headers, playing
"moderator" when his skill is so horrific that it only makes things
worse, and being a big source of the animosity here, well that defines
the state of the newsgroup. "RHF" isn't the only one, but he certainly
enables the other junk posters.

Wade through the off topic posts, the political bickering and admonishments,
and there isn't much here. Far better for the yammerers to be silent for
a time than to constantly spew. And yes, you will see three or four
posters, including the bozo "RHF", in the thick of all that drivel.

There was a time when if someone asked a simple question, they'd be
told to look it up themselves. But nowadays, this newsgroup is full
of people who do that work for the lazy, merely posting links. And
when people do that, who's to know whether they know anything or not?
There is no value in posting such links, because the original poster
should be doing that work themselves. But instead, we get all these
link posters, and nobody around to really address the question that
may not be properly asked.

The only reason this bozo RHF is getting accolades is because
the newsgroup has decayed so much that many have left, and a new
wave that doesn't know better has moved in. SOmeone who can't keep
his mouth shut is bound to dominate a newsgroup, and that's what people
are reacting to. Look between the lines, and there is little of substance
there, and the only reason he becomes a "valuable source" is because the
good posters of the old days have faded away, so there's nothing better
than a bozo posting links.

A newsgroup is not healthy if only a handful dominate. Drive off a wide
range of readers, and the newsgroup declines, because as long as people
are reading a newsgroup, they may reply when they actually have something
to add, so some obscure topic gets a real answer instead of another
stupid link. Or that person who only replies a few times a year may
have some obscure bit of knowledge that few know, so if they tune out,
there goes the knowledge.

It's telling that the bozo RHF never looks things up in this newsgroup,
he's constantly linking to other sources of information.

Congratulations, you've written the definitive comment on the state of
this group. It's become a perfect example of the lowest common
denominator principle.


Like yourself, I used to make numerous on-topic
posts but it's hardly worth the effort anymore.


Of course not! Like most of the debutante, malcontent, and faux posters you'd
actually rather sit and whine.

In reality, you probably don't have anything to contribute anyway.

A tip for you: Nobody, and I mean NOBODY is stopping YOU from posting ANYTHING.

I was Dx'ing before you knew what the word meant. I made more on-topic
posts here during the past ten years than most, certainly more than you,
so don't lecture me about what I have or could contribute. Go back and
look at all the contributors that used to make useful posts here and
you'll see that almost all of them are gone. They left because of
'people' (I use the word loosely) like you with a Jekyll and Hyde
personality, who think they can act like a cretin one moment and then
expect to be taken seriously when they post something on-topic. All of
your supposed Dx'ing knowledge isn't worth the grief and insult of
wading through your endless BS.

As they say, don't let the door hit ya in the ass on the way out...
