Sorry, Remo. You fail.

Over 400 groups with "test" in their names on a typical newsfeed, and
you managed to crosspost into 5 groups that don't even have a "t", let
along "test" in their names.

Say... Aren't you the guy who tried making an advertisement for a
romance novel appear to be an on-topic post by saying something insipid
that could have been on-topic if it were in the right context? You
failed then, too.

Usenet was not invented for you to make these posts any more than the
telephone poles was invented to hold your "Loose 40 Pounds, Ask Me
How..." signs.

Sorry. I don't usually respond to trolls like RR, but I'm just in that
kind of mood today.

Funny isn't it how you can ignore something for ages and ages then
suddenly can't NOT anymore :~))

It's a bit the same with pruning..............you think :
"That plant/shrub/tree is a bit out of control but I can ignore
it....."
Then suddenly one morning you think "NO, I MUST prune it now !"

A troll only posts to annoy/argue and in general be a pain in the bum. You
should not respond to as troll because he/she is fed by your replies, but,
often the temptation is to great to resist

Someone here will tell you the technicalities but that it in "simple"

A troll is someone who posts something outrageous just to watch people
get riled-up. Sometimes a troll will do a little flaming (attacking the
person, not the ideas) just to watch everyone else start to get
personality issues and the real issue confused to the point that threads
will go down several layers with no real substance. Trolls cast a wide
net, and try to upset as many people as possible.

"Don't feed the trolls," essentially means you should ignore the troll,
and not get caught in his net.

The origin is the trolling that a fisherman does. Essentially we're
talking about casting a wide net, and seeing what we can catch.

Of course it's also fun to picture the troll as a evil little elf.

Gnomes are small chaps that spend most of their days in the garden: fishing, shifting wheelbarrows of manure, but always smiling. Now and again they escort students on 'round the world trips, having their photos taken in spectacular locations and then the photo being sent back to their guardians.

Some of you may know someone that has inadvertantly adopted a gnome spirit. This is by no means a bad thing, though you should avoid adopting the less benevolant spirits, bad demons, trolls, sprites, orcs...

Elves are nice.

Sorry, what was this thread about again?

Good heavens no. Gnomes are much closer to the pixie than the Troll. The
troll is a subspecies of Giant that nature made very ugly which annoyed
them to the point of nastiness.

I promise you that I did nothing to cause that top posting. If you look at

did it. Most of the subsequent correspondents like me, and, of course you
as well (twice on 07/08, tut,tut) just continued without looking at the
crossposting list.
The trouble with *not* following on with crossposting after an initially
crossposted note is that you don't know which of the ng's the oribinator
actually reads. As sure as I am sitting here, he/she does *not* read all
the ng's to which he/she has crossposted. However, I agree entirely with
you that it is a lousy habit.

Yes, I'm guilty again I'm afraid re "(twice on 07/08, tut,tut)" and to be
honest I would have continued cross posting, but I didn't because I wanted
to point out that you had committed a terrible sin and I would have looked
silly if I had committed the same sin in my post that was pointing this out.

I agree that not cross posting after a cross post could lead to people in
the other newsgroups missing out, but in this case I'm here and you're here
and you made your complaint to me only. Therefore, I thought your cross
posting wasn't necessary and it was fun pointing this out. Hope this makes

crossposting list.
The trouble with *not* following on with crossposting after an initially
crossposted note is that you don't know which of the ng's the oribinator
actually reads. As sure as I am sitting here, he/she does *not* read

all
the ng's to which he/she has crossposted. However, I agree entirely

with
you that it is a lousy habit.

Yes, I'm guilty again I'm afraid re "(twice on 07/08, tut,tut)" and to be
honest I would have continued cross posting, but I didn't because I wanted
to point out that you had committed a terrible sin and I would have looked
silly if I had committed the same sin in my post that was pointing this

out.

I agree that not cross posting after a cross post could lead to people in
the other newsgroups missing out, but in this case I'm here and you're

here
and you made your complaint to me only. Therefore, I thought your cross
posting wasn't necessary and it was fun pointing this out. Hope this makes
sense :-)


Not yet, but it will do so after I have drunk a small whisky to your health.
Here goes.

Sorry Franz my mistake,

You are forgiven. My memory is even ropier than yours.


Excellent, we'll be shaking hands next.


I have started to bottom post recently but forgot in
this particular instance. By the way, do you realise that you cross

posted
your reply to no less than seven newsgroups? Tut tut.

I promise you that I did nothing to cause that top posting. If you

look
at
the birth of the thread, you will notice that it was the initiator,

RR,
who
did it. Most of the subsequent correspondents like me, and, of course

you
as well (twice on 07/08, tut,tut) just continued without looking at

the
crossposting list.
The trouble with *not* following on with crossposting after an

initially
crossposted note is that you don't know which of the ng's the

oribinator
actually reads. As sure as I am sitting here, he/she does *not* read

For heavens sake give it a rest. Do you know how boring you are being.

Oh never mind *PLONK*


Now wasn't that fun? Frank vented, you vented, and then you got to
advertize loudly that you have "plonked" him. I think you should thank
Frank.

Let me guess ...

*PLONK*

:-)


Gosh what fun :D

He didn't top post. He interspersed his comments with the part of the
text he was responding to - the bit of his reply I've quoted here was at
the bottom. It just so happened that the sensible place for his first
comment was at the top.

Ah Yes, but you have made it quite clear that this was a top post. The
problem arises when no one puts spaces in between. IMHO, a lesser crime
to the usenet reply of 36 lines of unsnipped musings with a one line
"hear hear" at the bottom.
