: "Dudley Henriques" wrote Personally, I've reached the point where for me, the crap on Usenet simply isn't worth my time. I come and go with little expectation of a positive result. If I happen to get a positive result, I simply consider that a good day and I'll converse with respectful Usenet posters. If I don't find that, I'll tell people to go **** themselves in a heartbeat! On the moderated forums, I know going in that I'll never have to resort to telling anyone to go **** themselves, and for me, that's important. You see, I don't particularly like telling people to go **** themselves. Agreed What we really need is a small group of reasonable people to act as moderators, here, on usenet. All we need to do is keep out the riff-raff, and the worst of the disrespect. It is all about respect, and that is a sign of the times. As I contemplate going back to having students at school next week, I have come to dread it, and there too, it is all about respect, and the lack of it. Lack of respect for others, their property, and even for themselves. If I was allowed he whack their little backsides when they needed it, 90% of the problem would disappear. It's a pity that we can't pound a little respect into this generation when they need it. But no, that isn't civilized, or some such crap. Anyway, I've wandered. Anyone want to be a moderator? I will! You're out, for one. Bertie |

then killfile them, too. here about 50% or more of all postings are wiped out by the killfile. I was here for ten years without needing a killfile. Now, the solution is to killfile dozens of posters? now, that's life IMHO. 20 years ago you might also have not locked your front door, nowadays you'll probably lock up. That illustrates just how far this group has fallen, Martin. How sad. IMHO it's better to learn an awkward interface than to put up with this. First it is good to use a newsserver that filters out the obvious crap (EMP - excessive multiposts, HTML, binaries, ...), then you finetune to what you seem appropriate using your killfile. Most likely you get rid of 20% or more of the crap filtering out those postings coming in via googlegroups, then it *might* also be a good idea filtering those using a gmail-account. #m |

For example, you have never once since I've been on this forum, posted an aviation related post to me, but you are a constant source of lecturing on how dis-satisfied you are with my performance on the forum. I would think that you, in your "infinite wisdom", would have kill filed me a long time ago, but you haven't have you? You sir, are simply one more part of the Usenet problem, not a solution :-) -- Dudley Henriques |

If you believe that, then explain what's in it for us to answer questions for an idiot like you. That is for you to determine, not me. Only if you're gone. If you can or will discuss aviation only if I'm gone, it implies that I'm more interesting than aviation. I suppose I should feel flattered. |

People who believe the sentiment expressed by the poster you have answered have no feeling whatsoever for the acts of people like Monsoor. To them, all that exists is the search for an ulterior motive which they either assume or create. -- Dudley Henriques IIRC, the original act that MX questioned was somebody saying, "go **** yourself". Not exactly on par with somebody throwing themselves on a grenade. |

Somebody called ) whatever or whoever the **** that is! I wasn't even remotely involved in the discussion as you have indicated. In other words, it WASN'T me he was referencing you ****ing moron! Get a ****ing life will you please! -- Dudley Henriques |
