This group is -full- of bad advice. Until any advice that is posted here is confirmed by steveo and trader, it's bad advice to me. YMMV Dan |

There is a bunch of good ideas and advice here, but just like most NG's there's a lot more bad than good. I hope everyone takes most of it like a grain of salt. -- 30/GB/Month http://NewsReader.Com/ |

Yes, I agree somewhat that a group such as ahlg should probably have an exception to my rule. That being said, neither webtv nor G2 can be considered the sole sources of bad advice in this group. But G2 is definately a portal for meaningless trolls, spams, and other useless posts. Not to mention the formatting issues wreak havoc with long-time USENET users. As do the sheer amount of new users that don't bother to lurk a bit, looking for their answers, and prefer to be spoonfed, all because Google made it "easier" for them to access an information protocol that's older than (and worked better/safer than) "www". Few new users seem to have patience in this day and age of "i want it NOW". Rather than learn how it works, they just want to dive right in and move on. Picking up DejaNews' archiving was a good thing; creating a web portal to USENET was not. I'll most likely keep a global kill on G2 posts webtv... ahh that's another matter all-together. That's gotta just suck, heh. There can't possibly be *that* many users that post here via webtv, can there? This group is -full- of bad advice. True. I hope that my few posts aren't considered as such. Other than one mis-worded post, and a differing of opinion on the same issue, I don't think I've said anything that could be construed as "bad advice". *shrug* At the same time, I consider this group to also be -full- of good advice. It's sorting it all out that gets tricky. Same as any other ng, there. -- Eggs -A hair in the head is worth two in the brush. |
