How to UseNet properly.

If you are attempting to get posters to follow the rules, good luck with that. Usenet is the wild west of the internet & everybody does what they damn well please.

I know that. You know that.

I posted this so people will see how you're supposed to act. Then they can make their own mind up to either act like a fool, or know that others are acting like fools.

** Quoting properly is something YOU do not do.

One should always post under the particular words of another you are respon ding to and also BE about them.

No context shifting, posting some idiot jibe or introducing red herring.

And the big one:

If you have nothing worthwhile to post - POST NOTHING !!

Keeping on posting to have the last word, so you never admit error or defea t, is the act of an asshole.

Phli:

Thank you for demonstrating exactly what not to do on Usenet!

My Irony Status just went to DefCon 2...

** Perfect example of over snipping, context shifting, self referencing and posting a ridiculous jibe.

The international " Usenet Trolls Union" gives out awards to worthless scumbags like this moron.

Usually a small trophy with a steaming turd on it.

It's a well known fact that everyone here except Phil is an autistic retard. Phil is the only normal person on this forum; everyone else is a spastic asshole. ;-)

DefCon 1... bombers scrambled..

You know, you can make fun of that trophy but the steaming effect is quite lovely.
