@newssvr23.news.prodigy.net:

I do not see Joe's post as a misuse of usernet. Sorry that you do.

It's "usenet", not "usernet", but that would be another tutorial. Far be
it from me to tell you what usernet protocol is. Obviously, you've been
around long enough to know all the fairly widespread conventions, why
they exist, and even the name of the medium you're communicating in.
Maybe you've even been around long enough to see a few perfectly good
usernet groups killed by spammers.

It wasn't so much the spam for me. Someone posted a question as to
whether people here thought one of his post was spam, and I answered yes,
without comment, as none was needed. Push comes to shove, I couldn't
really care less whether he's hawking his stuff.

It was the silly post dripping with self importance from Rodney that got
the well-deserved reply. I don't care what kind of a guy he is. He made
a stupid post that made him sound arrogent as hell, and I called him on
it. I would call my best friend out for the same thing. Of course,
you'd have us ignore centuries of Greek tragedy and half of Shakespeare's
plays, and assert that there's nothing wrong with too much pride in
oneself.

Again, Rodney is a big boy, and certainly doesn't need you to defend him.
It looks kind of odd, frankly.
