I do own it

Fair enough...

...but could you please explain -how- someone "owns" a
newsgroup? A
title? A deed?

Please elaborate.

Thank you.

Thanks to those that responded (including Telamon).

First, I FULLY REALIZE this is NOT a moderated news group.
But
thanks
to
those of you that pointed it out.

Finally, -Telamon- made the claim that he owns it. The
purpose
of
my
original post above, was to 'call' -him- on that statement
and
have
him
elaborate a bit.

I bought it from the creators of the news group years
ago.
Basically
the
document was a bill of sale or sales agreement, which
effected
the
transfer of ownership. It has turned out to be a very
good
deal
for
me
except for a few people I have to put up with.

Telamon, thanks for the response; however, your brief
explanation
generated more questions than it answered.

First, you say your "bill of sale or sales agreement" is a
"
*transfer*
of ownership". Fair enough. That explains the 'transfer'
part.
But
you
did not address how it is actually *owned* in the first
place,
either
by
you or others. Are you saying that if I started a news
group
on
some
topic, that I would own it and then could actually sell it
to
someone
else at a later date? How would I prove my ownership to
potential
buyers? Once they bought it, how would they prove to
others
that
they
are now the new owners?


Is there something like a "Registrar of Deeds" of news
groups
or
some
kind of equivalent to the Secretary of State for car
titles
where
one
can actually look up news group ownership? Is there some
kind
of
web
site where we can view a list of the owners of various
newsgroups?
Reference(s) please.

Essentially I Own a business interest in the news group and
yes
the
news
group is public place to post and read through numerous
servers.
The
best analogy I can think of is the sidewalk in front of
your
house.
You
own it and are responsible for its condition but the city
has
an
easement for public use. Anyone can walk down the street
and
use
it.

The news groups are not registered with a city like real
estate
because
it is virtual property and yes there is an organization of
news
group
owners. These are private business arrangements between
people
and I
am
not at liberty to name the members. No need to worry about
some
kind
of
conspiracy here as this is just business. The business
arrangements
are
registered with Internet domain name registrars and can be
accessed
by
people of standing and that does not include you as far as
I
know.
It's
not quite on the level of the need to know but people do
value
their
privacy. You can understand that I hope because you are an
amateur
operator and not just anybody.


Wrong, wrong wrong......more mis-information...

Really? What do you know about it?

Enough to know your wrong.

I have not seen a post by you that shows you know anything.

There was the post that says you were full of ****.

That shows he knows something!

Actually the nasty language shows that he, like you, knows nothing.

....so says Telamon the king of insults.

Another useless post by telamon.

I guess this makes you a redundant idiot.

Another useless post by Telamon.

Another useless post by Ron.

time for a lesson learned on the schoolyard telamon...grow up, stop acting
like the village idiot...and people will leave you alone.

you started the crap in this newsgroup....you invite it...and if you would
act like an adult people would take you seriously.
