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.

From conventions to Shakespeare, to the self-anointed post of the
Calling-Out-Czar. Thank you for keeping us on the straight and narrow
Scott. Our lives has been so very barren 'till now...

More importantly, just tied on new Yo-Zuri Hybrid 8 lb line onto my go-to
spinning reel. Do you or anyone else recommend a Palomar knot with this
stuff, or should I stick with a Trilene knot?

My disclaimer is that I have absolutely no commercial interest in Yo-Zuri,
its subsidiaries, affiliates, nor alliances. I have not accepted any form
of compensation nor remuneration for the mention of this commercial product
in this or any other venue. My question is prompted solely by my desire to
keep a damned fish from busting a knot loose.
