Re: Who is Dr. Jai Maharaj? And why is he here?

[tony roberts]

How did you people find your way into rec.aviation.piloting?
We ALL rush to misc.writing screenplays and alt callahans anyway to hang
on your every word,
So to read them again here is just sensory overload.
We therefore request that you to drop the crosspost to us - thereby
leaving us free to look forward to, and savour each and every word of
every post to misc.writing.screenplays.

Thank you so much - we appreciate it.

Nor is it okay for you to cross-post so liberally. Please don't cross-post
in response to an improper cross-post.

The only way to reach the original poster and his ilk is to cross-post exactly
like the original poster did.

No, that's not true. Another way is post a single message in each group.
Yes, it's a pain in the ass, but two wrongs don't make a right. My post is a
good case in point: your response went to exactly one group--this one.

And the person to whom I responded did *not* post exactly like the
cross-posting original poster; he cross-posted to every other group *but*
this one. He obviously thinks it's okay to clutter up other groups with his
garbage, but not his own.

Peter cross-posted to all the other groups and not to this one because he
knows that the original poster does not frequent this one and would not see
the message if it appeared here. Peter, on the other hand, does not frequent
the others, so he doesn't know where the other poster is. It is also highly
desireable that other posters in those groups see this complaint.

And there's no difference to a reader whether a message is cross-posted or
individually posted to several groups. In fact, some browsers will mark a
message as read in all newgroups once someone reads it in one if it's
cross-posted, so cross-posting is preferable for this type of post.

Peter behaved exactly as he should have.

Peter cross-posted having no idea whether his message was relevant to the
groups to which he posted. That's wrong. In fact, that's the same criticism
Peter had for the original poster.

The conversation you and I are having right now is of no relevance to any
other group. That's I am not involving any other group.

There's a big difference: When people reply to a cross-post, they generally
repeat the sin of the original post. Again, my posts here are a good case in
point: We are not bothering any other groups with this exchange. Nor should
we.


> Peter behaved exactly as he should have.

Again, no. Cross-posting material not relevant to a group is wrong. Period.
And that some knuckle-head (the original poster, not Peter) started it all
does not transform an irrelevant post into a relevant one. I.e., just
because the original idiot encroached on my group does not make it okay for
Peter to do the same.

I would agree with that. Where we disagree is this. I feel that Peter's post was
relevant to all of the groups to which it was posted. It was a plea to not
cross-post to this group.

He is the reason for soc.culture.hawaiian he caused so much (off topic)
noise on the alt group, so they wouldn't have to listen.
