So why does this name-calling persist? Are the participants invested
in some Lemon-Mathau "Grumpy Old Men" style of rivalry? There are
never any emoticons or cues to the intensity of remarks so one can
only conclude that they are either done in animosity or in
poorly-constructed mock indignation, left up to the reader to deduce.
Well Michael you picked an odd time to bring this up seeing as it has
died down. Maybe you are just bored? Troll someplace else.
I am just getting very disillusioned with the state of some Usenet
N.G.s that used to be informative and technically useful and have
become the arenas for bad behavior.
Suggestions to "ignore posts or threads" from certain originators
doesn't improve the S/N ratio, or make navigating any easier. The
ongoing noise level also dissuades new participants and repels
veterans.
There has been some recent discussion about reforming the charter
or at least the FAQ for this N.G.; I would like to see a clear
code of conduct as an amendment.
Look to comp.arch.embedded for a well behaved unmoderated N.G. with
truly outstanding participants and a lot of useful content.
I don't know what it will take to clean this news group up. Some people
that use the news group invite this kind of crap. This news group has
seen better days.
No damn sunspots, no damn shortwave.
Plenty to listen to from late afternoon to early mornings.
And when nothing is going on, and ya already got the QSL's, one can always get
on the monkey boy 'Eduardo' and urge him to provide that documentation!
He is to busy eating crow to do that.
Yeah, crow is a traditional Hispanic dish.
