I'm still here, and read daily. Just like I always did.

When the bull**** stopped, so did I, just as I always intended.

The biggest difference I have seen is people treating each others opinions
with respect, and the people that were here only to develop a reputation for
themselves or promote their image have gone. Good riddance.

Keeping a peaceful group is everyone's responsibility, and no one is immune.

Hello Maxie. :-))

Agreed, although your tit-for-tat with Bertie (and others) was one of the
main reasons I (and many others) fled to Pilots of America last year. I
understand the urge to blast the trolls, but by playing their game you
became one of them.

Things are looking fairly sane around here, for the moment. We'll see how
long it takes Bertie to notice.

I wasn't hear to blast the trolls, dumb ass, everyone handles things in
their own way, and I could care less to debate methods with you or anyone
else. But I can assure you, taking shots at people is what got it all
started, and posting crap like this is hardly a way to do your part.

Sounds like you miss him to me. Perhaps if you post enough "Bertie was a
*******" nonsense he will feel compelled to return.

And loose the signature, it's nothing but spam.

At the most certain risk of hearing all about my Wikipedia bio and how
I use Usenet for no other reason that to feather my own nest, I would
suggest to you that Jay's signature is nothing unusual. He states in
his signature that he owns two aircraft and a hotel that is completely
devoted to an aviation motif. He offers no "specials" or makes no
direct attempt to solicit business here. His signature is simply a
statement of who he is and what he does.
Of course there are always those who will read something sinister into
that, but that's Usenet.
Jay is well known here for both his interest in flying AND what he and
Mary have done with the Alexis Park Inn as that relates directly to
the aviation most of us enjoy.
I for one have never even come close to viewing Jay's signature as
spam. He and his family have devoted much time, effort, and indeed
resources to aviation.
I see nothing at all wrong with Jay mentioning his airplanes OR his
hotel here on this forum.
Of course, considering the way you have attacked me as well as Jay, I
thoroughly understand your position :-)
Lighten up Maxie. Your life on Usenet could be much more rewarding
than you have chosen to make it here on these forums.

No. Your assertion appears to come out of thin air - or perhaps your
wishful thinking?

I haven't noticed he or Max for a while.

Believe it or not, they probably "left" for the same reason many others
left. That reason being: if there is almost no audience, there is no reason
to expend the effort to post.

I think you are making big mistakes in your assumptions. Even if one
assumes that previous highly ego-centric posters don't return, if posters
do return there are bound to be more of the same class of posters. In fact
the distribution of all psycological classes should be expected to return
to previous levels, actually. That's the nature of human psychological
diversity. The outliers can't be banned from unmoderated Usenet groups.

I don't know how you ban someone from Usenet... but it is his history to
"just move on" when his work is done. His work appears to be done.

As far as Mx... nothing short of being disconnected from the Internet or
death would stop him from posting. I don't know which it is...

But, yes... it's like someone cleared all the toxic smoke out of the room
and you can breathe in here again.

I suggest the free news server nntp.aioe.org

I used aioe for both reading and posting for several years, then they went
offline for a several months, but are back online now. I notice the aioe
server filters most spam much better than my ISP news-server does. I have
been unable to post through this news-server for the past week or so. There
are other free news servers, YMMV.

Happy landings,

I've been using eternal-september.org. I'm quite happy with them.
They're down a little bit more than I'd like, but I don't consider
Usenet to be a five-nines service anyway. Spam filtering is quite good,
and they have all the groups I care to read.

Plenty of options out there for you!
