Does anyone remember how great rec.radio.cb used to be?
 

Was thinking as I checked my email today how great this group used to be.
Daily there would be technical articles posted and I can't tell you how much
I learned from this group. Questions regarding repairs/modifications were
politely and accurately responded to. Many folks from the group even managed
to have get-togethers sometimes traveling hundreds of miles. Guess that was
the old rec.radio.cb of six perhaps seven years ago, it's pretty sad how
it's become.

Odd, since 20 years ago, it was as bad as it is now. Only the names have
changed.

Hehehe,,I bet you were. No cloned postings/email from Keri the funny
finnish teacher, Yrac, Oxendine, or any of the other troublemakers of
whom you were used to colluding.

Daily there would be technical articles posted

and I can't tell you how much I learned from

There still are, but you're still on the outside looking in and as
always, because of your inability to find what you seek,
you deny its existence.


Questions regarding repairs/modifications

were politely and accurately responded to.


If you were honest, you'd get a ton of advice to your posted questions
in email, but when you post with a toss-away addy in hopes someone will
email you just in order to get their email origins for nefarious
motives, you reap what you sew. Quit crying and moaning and act like a
man instead of a little girl.


Many folks from the group even managed to

Still going on. You just ain't clued in.
Anyone can email me for news of the closest,,,umm,,picnic in your area.

perhaps seven years ago,


For you, at least. Those were the days before
you were forced-educated and made to learn their are consequences for
your actions. Not liking to face responsibility, you were driven
underground, your hammie status remains that of lid.


it's pretty sad how

it's become.


No, it's fantastic. You realized your impotence, yet the fun continues
with cb, and you can't do a thing about it.

Ah, so you did. Why did you wait so long to decide to inform us that
when you were posting as "Legal Radio", you were really AC6MG? Do some
of the things you said in your posts make you ashamed of your call?

twithed, go copy/paste some more stuff...your original posts are
stupid. Give FUGGLY the AKC's regards.

Aww,,never mind, John. Your disdain for cber's is there for all to see,
preserved in google archives for posterity. You are an extra class
hammie,,,, you shouldn't be hanging in a cb group if you have such
personal issues with cber's.

Google on-line archives only go back to 1991 or so.

I've been here since 1996, and it was a lot different then.

I came on around then. Went away for a while when the madness began. Now I
just filter like mad. ;-)

I filter too. Came upon this thread and the replies when I went hanging
around Google. I had the whole thread killfiled, as well as most of those
who replied. I see about 3 new postings a day with all my filters on.

I did that once - filtering by name, subject, etc.
Considering that the posts to this group are probably 95% rubbish, It is
better to set up an "accept" list of words and senders.

With both "accept" and "kill", I get the best of both worlds... Known trash is either
deleted or unavailable (posts with an attachment are automatically included in that
trash), known good posts are made available and the rest is header only so that I
can chose whether to mark it for download.

Figures for this group, as shown by my news reader:
Messages totally excluded: 676.
Headers in cache: 334
Messages downloaded: 69.
Out of a total of 1010 messages, only 69 are actually downloaded.

Also interesting is how this group was created by the will of a bunch
of hams.

Negative. I have never heard of AC6MG.

I'm not a ham, nor have I ever been.


Look up the bloke's call whose name you are using. Or were you not aware
that second post you made had your name attached to it?

I'm not ashamed of anything I've ever said.



Well, painting all cbers with a negative wide brush certainly wasn't the
most intelligent thing you ever said, but hey, if you believe such
bull****, who am I to teach you differently?

So you say,,,

I do not have issues with CBers.


Ummm,,you forget?

Just the illegals.

Yea,,well then why did you lump all cbers in a negative light?

To tell you the truth, I really don't care one

way or another about CB or CBers anymore.

My interests have gone elsewhere over the

years.



I see. You are here seeking culinary advice.
