@DIALUPUSA.NET: This is just a test of a new mail program. It failed. Your test should have appeared in alt.test. Puckdropper |

Puckdropper Hey Pucker, Please post YOUR set of rules as to how we, the unwashed masses, are to use the electronic media. I found that my new mail program worked perfectly in that it caught you as chief nit-picker in charge. |

The reply was supposed to be a somewhat light-hearted way to direct you to post any further test messages in one of the test groups. There are some groups that don't need the extra noise of test messages. Puckdropper |

Since there is no value in name-calling, nothing more need be said. Dick |

Puckdropper Pucker, First of all, I picked the LEAST used newsgroup that I subscribe to and your reply to me did not sound very light-hearted as you thought it might be, it sounded more like an admonishment. If there is an established set of rules for the newsgroups please point me to them, heck, sometimes I even follow the rules. |

: *snip* Pucker, First of all, I picked the LEAST used newsgroup that I subscribe to and your reply to me did not sound very light-hearted as you thought it might be, it sounded more like an admonishment. If there is an established set of rules for the newsgroups please point me to them, heck, sometimes I even follow the rules. Welcome to Usenet. Here's a couple rules: 1. You do your own research here. If you've got Usenet access, you've almost certainly got web access. You want real rules, you do the search. 2. Text loses it's emotion, so sometimes messages don't carry the message they intended. Remember that not everyone has the same sense of humour as you do so what they thought was cute or light hearted may, to you, but rough and rude. 3. You have the right to a kill file, just as I do. Puckdropper -- Not "Pucker" -- Wise is the man who attempts to answer his question before asking it. To email me directly, send a message to puckdropper (at) fastmail.fm |

Several years ago two attornies posted an advertisement to
all newsgroups. Instead of increasing their client base, they became the first spammer. My guess is a 1992-1994 timeframe. Right after that Usenet posted the first set of guidelines (not rules) of netiquette. Flaming, spamming, and the posting test messages to alt.test were at the top of the list. ISP's distributed to all users once and to all new users. Maybe they now include it in their "Terms of Service", but how many people read them? Unfortunately I have no idea where to find them so I understand that you were never aware of them. If "admonish" means I thought you were wrong for being harsh with someone who pointed out that alt.news was the appropriate place to post test messages, then yes I did. If it means I was being harsh, then no I didn't." Dick |
