But the entertainment value is totally lost. :-)

That's half the fun of Usenet - the entertainment value.

We are not talking about usenet. We're talking about private forums run by
individuals or organizations.

I'm begining to suspect that you are a Harry clone. :)

Then I suspect you are not very perceptive.

Talk about losing perspective.

Wayne made a comment about losing entertainment value once a user has
been booted from a private forum.

I mentioned that, with respect to entertainment value, Usenet provides
plenty of same.

To which you replied that we weren't talking about Usenet.

I would point out that I WAS talking about Usenet in reference to
relative entertainment values of the two forms of discourse - this
being more open and free form which private forums prefer not to
provide being more focused and topic specific.

I'm fairly certain that most people here understood that.

Now that I know you have a cognition problem with respect to comparing
A to B I'll be sure to explain it to you in future posts.
