Typical Usenet example as follows;
I was underposted by an individual who wanted to tell the entire world
that
I wasn't Dudley Henriques. He said he could prove that because he knew
Dudley Henriques personally and knew where he was.
My wife immediately sent him an email asking him to PLEASE go immediately
and ask the real Dudley Henriques if he liked to do yard work and if so,
would he consider coming home right away, since the imposter she had been
living with for 40 years absolutely hated to do yardwork!!.

Y'know, that's what's good about Usenet. It offers win-win situations
for everybody.

Probably half the people posting on Usenet are not who they say they are
or
haven't done the things they say they have done. Even if you ARE who you
say
you are on Usenet, it's STILL incumbent on those reading what is written
to
do their own research to separate fact from fiction.
Only a total fool takes Usenet at face value. Everything posted on Usenet
is
questionable.

Very true. At worst; it's entertainment, with no waiting for your favorite
program. At best, it contains information with a bibliography--or at least
a couple of new search arguments to further your search.

I always tell people when I post something I feel is of importance
concerning flight safety on Usenet;
"Please feel free to take this post to competent authority for verification
".
Then, after years of posting comment and information, if that information is
factual and accurate, the number of people who actually take your posts to
check them out might diminish a bit :-)

All of the people you meet in your life carry a facade they present to
the world, including the guy or gal in the mirror. Surely part of
growing up is learning that, and then learning your response to it.

Hey everybody. Mormie converted over to Cannibalism while he was out in the
jungle. Pass it on.

sure... airplanes with the biggest wings fly the best! Well, unless
sometimes they get flapped faster, or have powerful electric flaps...
or bigger fans on the front, or on the wings. Of course if there are
TWO pilots they can pedal faster so that adds bank angle. :^)

A gross exaggeration. Headhunters do not eat their victims.
