I'm probably preaching to the choir with most of the old guys, but here are a
couple of notes to some of the new people.

Learn were your cap lock key is at and turn it off. All caps is considered rude
when posting to news groups.

Many newsgroups have a resident troll/sicko that screw things up for everyone
else. Timmy is ours. He has been very restained with his posting this time,
probably because he is running out of ISP's. Most of the traffic has been from
people trying to reason/have witty exchanges with him. Don't reply. Leave him
alone. Don't threaten (which is an actual crime) or abuse him. Just don't
respond.

If you take a unpopular topic, defend it unreasonably and rudely, and have your
title in all caps, you're trolling. period. There are still a few of us old
timers that
are pretty flameproof and most of us (hi John) have refrained from flaming some
of the more blatant trolls. If you are new to NG's, I might check up on
Netiquette before continueing to post.
