Kennedy gets his own TFR

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.

The general rule is that the authors' of follow up articles should
attempt to include equal or more new text than that which they have
quoted from a previous article.

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.

When does etiquette change. So much has changed in society. It will of
course change in usenet also. 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"?

He gets the cape to himself for the holiday weekend.

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...

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?

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

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.
