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.

Holy Crap!

I repeat............Tom does not like it when he is corrected by
others.

Yeah, but you didn't warn me it turned him into a babbling mass of idiocy!

Yay, Jimmy finally got a follower. You've definitely put a smile on the
boy's face with that comment. He's been whining about Tom for a couple
weeks because Tom gave him what he deserved.

You go, guy!
