Perhaps the time to consider amending the newsgroup charter to

How would that be enforced?

The Acceptable Use Policy of some anonymous news providers
(notably
Altopia alt.net include their intent to discipline the users who
post articles to newsgroups that are contrary to the newsgroup
charter.

If that works, could we also update the charter to exclude any
posts that I'm not interested in? That would make it much
easier for me.

To have the newsgroup charter amended to contain such language
would
require a majority vote.



I vote Larry out.

Bertie

Larry's post is off-topic, so I've asked his service provider to
close
his account. It should be done by COB Monday.


Excellent. Usenet will be safe once again.


Bertie

Is it just me or does it seem more peaceful, already?

Seriously, the sun just came out and birds are chirping, for the first
time today.

If he only knew what a blot upon the landscape he was...

Send a complaint he . Responsible netizen

I suspect that Google is deliberately trying to kill Usenet.

FWIW, I don't.

I'm a happy and satisfied user of many of Google's services.
I am not employed by them or remunerated by them in any
way (other than using a half-dozen or so of their free
services--gmail, Google, Picasa, a free web page, etc.).

We owe them a debt of gratitude for saving the Dejanews
archives and for maintaining them.

Usenet isn't a big part of their business any more.
There are tradeoffs involved in offering free services
to all and sundry. On balance, I think the good they
do far outweighs the bad.

Of course, YMMV.

they sure haven't done it because they love the community so much.
they've done it because they have seen some sort of business.

IBTD.
I would suggest a (passive) UDP to bring them either off usenet or to a
better abuse desk.

Of course, YMMV.

indeed.

Life is a series of tradeoffs.

This is one I'm willing to make for the
kinds of service I get in return.

That's how most corporations operate.

The few individuals who archived Usenet for the love of
it (and made their archives available to other folks)
have left the building.

Supernews has been advised of your misconduct. HAND

Thanks - much appreciated. I've been unable to stop reading Usenet for
years although I've wished I could (poor self-discipline, I know - probably
some sort of addiction) and a little external push would provide the
psychological finality I possibly need.

Usenet is where people of limited means can voice their
opinion and with innovative word placement techniques make
the first page of Goggle regarding their topic thus becoming
a large voice in a sea of digital ****

First page of Google means instant exposure WORLDWIDE

You can do that via Usenet using simple free word placement
techniques

Keep Usenet. **** Politically Correct Tyranny
