2. To cause a newsgroup to be flooded with irrelevant or
inappropriate messages. You can spam a newsgroup with as
little
as
one well- (or ill-) planned message (e.g. asking "What do you
think of abortion?" on soc.women). This is often done with
cross-posting (e.g. any message which is crossposted to
alt.rush-limbaugh and alt.politics.homosexuality will almost
inevitably spam both groups). This overlaps with troll
behavior; the latter more specific term has become more
common. ...



Nope. wrong one, fjukkwit.

The ****in jargon file? LOL!

Wandering around looking for definitions that suit yourself isn't
proof
of anything.

Wait 'till he discovers urbandictionary.com, where you can add/edit
definitions.


He hasn't got that much imagination. He is, after all, a policeman at
heart.

Bertie

You know, his own post actually meets his definition of "spam" since
it's attracting a multitude of responses that are off-topic for RAP.


I think his own poast meets the definition of spam since it goes well
with eggz.

Bertie

I think his own post meets the definition of spam simply because his
last name vaguely looks/sounds kinda like "diarrhea", and that's
off-topic for RAP.


I think his own post meets the definition of spam because he's as dumb
as a doorstop and my granny used to use a stale can of spam as a
doorstop.

Spam doesn't go stale. It grows legs and walks away if left alone for
long enough.

Hmm, maybe Maxie IS spam.

the online forum "Pilots of America" to your list of places to hang
out and exchange information.

I have explored this alternate venue and have found it to be quite
useful and seriously devoted to the aviation format.

Those interested in serious aviation discussion might wish to take
note of any and all off topic, ad hominem, and vitriolic posting that
takes place under this simple announcement post in deciding whether
exploring this new venue might be a worthwhile expenditure of your
time. :-))))))

I will continue to post here as always if for no other reason than to
allow those students who are serious about aviation to be able to
compare the Usenet experience to the potential alternative experience
of the moderated aviation forum format.

Hope to see you over at Pilots of America.

I can't register. I fill in the registration form, and it comes with an
error that says: "The string you entered for the image verification did
not match what was displayed."
Um, there IS no verification image displayed.

Hi Crash;

Which forum? POA had a hacker yesterday and was down for a while.
Someone else mentioned they had registration issues there.
The Purple Board should be ok.
If any issues, try a direct contact with the administrators.
Hope you get it sorted out. There seems to be a ton of good solid
aviation people migrating to these two forums from Usenet. The posts are
"refreshing" to say the least. The atmosphere is great and believe it or
not, nobody seems inclined to discuss anything "unfriendly" :-))

Does your browser restrict images displayed in any way?

Yeah, it's the POA site. I have sent a mesage to the admins. Hopefully
they'll get back to me.

No it doesn't. Funny thing is, when I went to the "Contact Us" page, to
send them a message about it, it did display a verification image, and
I entered it in the field, and it sent the message no problems. Just
don't see a verification thing on the registration page.

Should work out for you.

These two forums are great. Good people, good sound aviation dialog, no
nonsense .
Just make yourself known as a newbie and join right in with the rest of us.
