Hey youse guys:
To help you understand the ruckus you are causing here, let me put it another way. Imagine that you guys are all sitting around telling your stories, having lots of little fun converstations, and making your rules to guide your little chats. Lets even imagine that you are doing it electronically, through a membership-driven chat group. Fine. Then suddenly, some system administrator decides that he wants to make it seem like MORE people are involved in your little group. So he does the equivalent of stick a microphone in the middle of your room and broadcast your little membership-driven chat over a loudspeaker for another whole group to hear. Considering that the whole other group (USENET) has its own procotols, etiquitte, rules, social dynamics, etc., your sudden appearance there is, to say the least, invasive. Some of the rules of USENET are not just tradition...they are driven by the structure of the format, and the fact that many people worldwide have to pay for access, and pay for downloading stuff. For example, we don't post binaries here (pictures) because the files are too big. We don't post word documents here because they don't show. We also don't do several other things for various reasons. Its your job to find out what those things are...which is hard if you think you're still all alone in your little chat group in New Jersey. Whether you like it or not, your stupid site admin stuck that stupid microphone right in the middle of your chat group and is broadcasting your site here. We don't mind if some, or all, of you want to join USENET...as long as you realize that its NOT the New Jersey Flyfishing forum. So far, polite requests to have the damn microphone removed have failed. Things on rofft have gotten slightly ugly, with name calling, etc. One of the traditions here on roff is that we reserve the OT, chit chat and namecalling bull**** to roff and preserve rofft for On Topic and helpful stuff. So you're stepping all over that. So help us help you: contact your sysadmin and have him unlink USENET from your chat group. Those of you who want to broaden your horizons, come join roff. But remember...your little in-house conversations are being broadcast all over the world, in other people's houses, and you don't get to make all the rules. --riverman |

What remains of ROFF is largely a bunch of self, and American-centred idiots who if they had any regard for international users would long ago have ceased misusing the group in such a manner. Accusing others of causing disruption while actively engaging in a particularly abusive variation of it merely shoes how stupid they are. This group was more or less dead in the water before these guys started posting here, and I for one would rather have the Jersey guys posting here than you lot. Up to now this group was pleasant enough. Fortenberry , LaCourse and others kept their potty mouthed ignorance mainly to ROFF. What´s up? Not enough newbies or other innocents there to upset and abuse? Stay on ROFF, or post about flies here, and you will have no problems. Apart from which, there is nothing you can do about it anyway.

Rick Now that's just wrong, Rick. You have disparaged ass clowns by linking them to Mikey Conner. Besides, Mikey Conner is really more of a ****-maggot than a mere ass clown. Oh yeah, is enrages Mikey when you misspell his last name, so don't make such a careless error! Op |

I am sure that they would not want to be with the likes of Mr Conner...Gay or not, that was insulting to the ass clowns.. Please forgive my fast judgement that was unkind to the ass clowns.. ;-) Rick |

![]() Yeah, OK, the 'youse guys' thing was inappropriate. But you'd be pretty foolish thinking Hong Kong was a third world country. The point is that your chat group is being broadcast worldwide, to audiences who don't necessarily want the traffic, and you seem completely unaware that the posting rules are different in the other forums. Merely 'toning it out' isn't an option. We're trying to get your sysadmin to disconnect the feed. You are all welcome to join USENET, but at least do it knowingly, not via an inappropriate linkage, so that you can participate fully and appropriately there. Not everyone in the world is interested in everything that you guys post about here, any more than you seem concerned with what goes on in the rest of the world. -riverman -- riverman ------------------------------------------------------------------------ riverman's Profile: http://www.njflyfishing.com/vBulleti...hp?userid=2828 View this thread: http://www.njflyfishing.com/vBulleti...ad.php?t=15390 ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Unrestricted-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- |
