Moderated rec.ponds

Gail Futoran wrote, On 06/12/2006 18:10: This is a public service announcement: Anyone who is interested in rec.ponds.moderated would be well advised to do an advanced search on Google groups and review the posts of those involved in the rec.ponds discussion over the past two weeks or so to decide for themselves the veracity of statements made. Once you done an advanced search a couple of times, you'll get the hang of it and can revise your search based on criteria that interest you. Gail rec.ponder since April 2003 Hello, thanks for the reply, I'm not sure why my post required a public service announcement. I've been following the r.p.m discussions over the last few weeks so know what is going on, I don't really want to google for every word written on it because it is 90% nonsense and argument. What part of my post requires a google advanced search, and is the veracity of my statements in question? David rec.ponder since Feb 2002 (I pop back now and then to see if the trolls have left) -- DavidM www.djmorgan.org.uk My PSA *followed* your post in the thread, but was not in *response* to your post. If you look at my "PSA" post, the only thing in there is my stuff, nothing of yours, or anyone else's. When someone responds to another person, they include what the OP (original poster) wrote or some part of it and author identification, as above. But anyone can post something "new" to an existing thread without specifically responding to anyone else. That's how USENET works. Now, the reason I posted my "PSA" was to provide information for anyone new to USENET or posting online who might not know there's an archive where anyone can look up the previous posts, e.g., if someone missed an earlier post and wants to look something up. Or check the veracity of statements. For example, if I assert that you, DavidM, posted on rec.ponds that you think rec.ponds should be removed from USENET, you would naturally disagree that you ever said that, and anyone who wanted to know who was telling the truth could go to Google groups archives to see if you ever said that or if I'm blowing smoke. There have been a fair amount of accusations made during the discussion in the past two weeks where one person asserts another person posted something, and the assertion was not true. Checking the Google archives is one way of sorting out the truth. I posted my "PSA" to two relevant threads, once each, and I won't do it again. Basically, because I give up. ::shrug:: Gail rec.ponder since April 2003 |
