Kennedy gets his own TFR
Tina writes:
I will make the observation that your untrimmed posts often offer more aviation content than many others who do trim. Most of what posters trim is backquoting of others; so you're saying that the main aviation content is in the backquotes, which isn't terribly flattering. |

What an astute reader would have inferred is that I think Dudley's
contribution to the aviation content of this group is high, even if he chooses, or forgets, to trim his posts to meet some standards others wish to impose. Some may disagree. |

Also, top-posting is a sign of nubieism, as it breaks the chronological flow of thought. The two rules go hand-in-hand for obvious reasons. |

I don't disagree about Dudley's contributions in the slightest. It is only that I wish to see more people take advantage of his expertise that I asked him to follow longstanding Usenet etiquette. -- Jay Maynard, K5ZC http://www.conmicro.com http://jmaynard.livejournal.com http://www.tronguy.net Fairmont, MN (FRM) (Yes, that's me!)

Manners are not what they used to be. Such as table manners or wearing hats in front of ladies. Is ettiquete defined by popular standards of society? Should it flex with time as it has? I for one will top post if I am not necassarily adding "in line" to something. But here I am. I am not offended by top posting, so to me it isn't a breach of ettiquete. Is anyone truely "offended"?

What is he supposedly doing there all by himself on a late sprind holiday weekend? I must admit that I am no fan of his; but the location suggests a sailing regatta, which could be an alternate explanation, and that is a little out of my searching specialties... Peter |

: -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- From: Mxsmanic Being a senator isn't nearly as important as being a Kennedy. Don't forget the efforts made at taxpayer expense to find the last Kennedy who disappeared in an airplane. Like it or not, some people are more important than others. When you disappear, the investigation will end at, "Gee, I wonder what happened to MX". Or, more likely, "What's that smell coming from Anthony's apt.". OR even more likely "what's that new smell coming form anthony's apartment? Bertie |

Dudley Henriques schrieb: No offense meant Jim ; just an observation from years and years of Usenet experience :-))). I'm sure you know what I mean. In all those years: have you never trimmed your posts? you've been told a couple of times by now from different people. Please: TRIM YOUR POSTS! Or what, ze Russian Front? Bertie |

There is an established formal method of changing Usenet policy via RFCs. Manners are not what they used to be. Such as table manners or wearing hats in front of ladies. That may be the case where you reside, but it has no bearing on Usenet. Usenet conventions are the result of thoughtful debate, and careful design. Is ettiquete defined by popular standards of society? Usenet netiquette is defined he http://www-rohan.sdsu.edu/doc/zen/ze...toc.html#SEC44 Please also see: http://www-rohan.sdsu.edu/doc/zen/zen-1.0_6.html Should it flex with time as it has? Usenet is made possible through the generosity of those computer system owners who provide the resources upon which it depends. Usenet is intended to be an exercise in self-governance. Those Usenet participants who are not evolved enough to be capable of self-governance are easily distinguished from responsible netizins. I for one will top post if I am not necassarily adding "in line" to something. Top-posting in follow up articles fractures the chronology of the thoughts expressed in proceeding articles, thus making it exceedingly difficult for future researchers of the GoogleGroups (nee dejavu) Usenet archive to follow the message thread. But here I am. I am not offended by top posting, so to me it isn't a breach of ettiquete. While I truly respect individualism, failure to follow netiquette conventions will not earn you respect among its participants. |
