Mxs wins.

Just dont read them. Jeez.

See Ya.

Don't hurry back. Its a public forum not your personnel newsgroup. If you
don't like it you should leave and find one that fits your needs. Maybe you
can start alt.rec.corncobupmyass.pilot.

I will go back to just lurking again. I just felt compelled to say that. You
can go and correct my grammer now. I am sure I made a million mistakes.

Well, I'm going to take a break from this group for a while. The signal
to noise level is so high, and the volume of junk so large, it takes too
much time and annoys me.

I'm tired of being called a netcop, among other things, and since all of
you "weenies" that are enabling this troll by responding have pushed this
group into the dumpster, as far as I am concerned.

I'll check back from time to time, and when he goes, I'll return.

See you in the funny papers! g

Sorry for calling some of you weenies, but that's how I see it, at the
moment.

Your grammar is acceptable but your spelling and punctuation suck. I just felt
compelled to say that. Have a nice day.

You're right that the newsgroups are public fora. However, when they
were started, people were supposed to abide by each newsgroup's
charter, though there would be no one to police such activity except
each forum's own contributors. The charters for the rec.aviation
newsgroups can be found at
http://www.faqs.org/faqs/aviation/faq/preamble.html.

According to the charter for the rec.aviation newsgroups,
rec.aviation.piloting is for "general discussion for aviators."
According to Merriam-Webster, an aviator is "the operator or pilot of
an aircraft and especially an airplane." MXS doesn't appear to be an
aviator, at least by this definition. Many of his questions are more
appropriate for other newsgroups. For example, many of his postings
are probably more appropriate for the rec.aviation.simulators or
rec.aviation.student newsgroups.

This newsgroup has certainly deteriorated in the (nearly) decade that
I've been reading it (using this and other email addresses). If people
used the most appropriate newsgroups for their postings, the value of
the newsgroups increases for everyone. If people post blindly to
whichever newsgroup is most convenient or will provoke the most
reaction, the newsgroups lose value for us all. Sadly, it has lost
value for at least one of our contributors.

A decade. Hm...that's when they started selling computers at
the grocery store. Pick your color and price, no need to read the
back of the box for the instructions. And the bag boy/girl will even
carry it out to the car for you.

Have you notice how many of the big box computer stores even have
grocery carts now?

Are you folks aware of the large number of newsgroup users who don't
know what Usenet is? There are more and more "web forums" that simply
display and post to Usenet with the user thinking it's a web forum.


Here's an example:

The thing is it would be VERY easy for the big USENET service providers to
not accept post from those sites. The problem is Google would just take up
the slack.

The entire phenomenon is known as "the September that never ended" and it
started when America Online opened to Usenet. The September part is based on
how there used to be a huge influx of internet users every September when
new students got access to their first internet connection at college.

No, I think that's a more recent phenomenon. I started reading this
newsgroup about a decade ago at around the same time I started getting
serious about flying and earned my instrument ticket. To my
recollection, there were no megastores that sold PCs around that time.
My first post to a newsgroup was in 1986, when I started using usenet
on a terminal connected to a network of VAXes ("vixen") and IBM 3/60s.
I started using computers in 1979 when I first learned to program and
logged into BBS's using 110bps modems.
