''What is the deal'' with the threads?-----ie.

----fullstate wonders why?---
Why are there multiple threads for the same freaking subject with little
appendages to them (like --xx-- or whatever) ??? It's making it
difficult to read thru them.

---brian walker offers an opinion----
-----.
Don't know....I just got tired of trying to play catch up with all these
and their postings....
I ended up hitting "catch up" and solving the problem.

''xx'' marks the spot.

referred to as an ''appendage''!!. ----- I find it easier for me and
''it'', to find stuff down the 100's of responses! I set this ''thing''

Fullstate, I find it hard to believe it puts a ''strain'' of any kind,
on your computer to ''read'' down the numerous responses.
<>
I can believe, though, that it might irritate you, in some manner.

But I see no difference, of me installing a simple ''xx'', than others
typing IN an additional phrase in the ''post subject area.''
Surely, you've, noticed. (grin)

Be very, very careful how you answer, RGD.... SWMBO has web TV and she
can whup your ass! <G>

 

Most likely your threads are stripped. This is often caused by
using a metric newsreader on SAE threads or vice-versa.

Hope this helps.

 

Oh that's good!

Heh, heh. Actually, with all the purposeless cross-posting coming
from the guys in tx.moto, an idea occurred to me. Maybe we should
cross-post every one of Henry, Phyloe, Moto and Piddy's gems that come
here?

Hmmm. Maybe add Dem's too. All the cream off the top.

RGD, you make fellers have to work to get below all that Baggage shit.
Then this thang you type'' I shooda swerved instead of what".
••ANYWAY•• my response to the remarks above the baggage area
Are:
!-----RGdon mentions CPosting, like no one in Reeky ever crosses over to
Tx.moto. with a Post'us!
When its about motorcycles, we want to share with you guys over there in
reekyville. tell me, what's wrong w/that?
---b.j.kana---

 

I'll accept that you're new to usenet and probably just don't know, so
take this advice. Cross-posting is not normally good form.

If you have such an insatiable need to reach as wide an audience as
possible and want to be engaged in a friendly manner:

1. Post to one news group at a time.

2. Stop tacking on that stupid "xox" shit to the end of the subject
lines on your posts, as that causes each of your innane contributions
to show up as a stand-alone thread in certain news readers (i.e. it
may be convenient for you, but it's a disservice to others)

Bjay, the "appendages" are annoying to all. Changing the headers is like
driving on the left side of the road. The longer you keep it up, the
smaller the usnet will get for you, as more people ignore your posts. If you
want to be rude, that's part of reeky, go ahead, but being a mere pest is
ignoble.

----First I wanna compliment you on your civil response. I din't know
you had it in you.
----I don't necessarilly agree with you.
I'm not sure all PC'ers have the same opinion.
Don, what gets me, is not one of ya'll
complained about crossPosting, during the OnGoing, & continual ''F-War''
threads that were crossPosted time and time again. Of which, I didn't
participate.
MAINLY, cuz it was boring, and abnoxious.
--Here, I crossPosted a couple of interesting actual, literal topics
about
Motocycles----kinda odd!!
---I don't know if you read my Intr, sometime ago to your favoriteNG,
Reeky.
---I tried to respond to a few of your remarks, when I visited reeky.
<>
You never acknowledged Bjay, so I figured you were'nt ‘in the least’
interested in my comments, and/or I was in your BoZo KF.
--Now. all of a sudden, you notice something about me, and you chose to
do nothing but flame me, and complain.
And, with a sharp tongue. (grin) (bjay)

 

BJ, it's not so much the cross posting is the current complaint as it is
taking the topic line and changing it to suit yourself. that changes it
for everyone else too. the ones who do that are generally posters who
are trying to get by the ignored threads and ignored posters filters
others may be using (hansteen and moto as examples); consequently, it is
considered very annoying and a breach of usenet prototcol. if you were
ignoring the flame wars, and someone kept changing the topic so it kept
showing up on your reader, you would find that annoying; this is the
same thing. I know you were doing it to try and keep track of the
thread, but the effect on everyone else est no bueno, señor. please
don't do it.

i'm not knocking it, but simply pointing out another "feature" of your
WTV and how it affects the newgroups. your efforts on quoting have
been appreciated and this is a request along those same lines. grassy
ass.

 

Heh, heh, heh. Go ahead and play your little games, trying to dig up
stuff on people and making up your baseless allegations, Brian. Since
you do it to so many people, it's plainly obvious that you have a
psychological problem, so keep on proving it.

Everyone now knows that the folks in rec.moto beat you and your Dad at
your own game when we dug up the old man's past criminal record and
posted the documents for everyone to see. That was perfect.

Our job is now done and we're just watching the two of you twist on
your own petards, frothing at the mouth. Couldn't have been a better
conclusion.

Keep up Showboat.. You didn't dig up anything.. Sheesh.. I've been telling
you for a long time that you don't know who you are fucking with .. Next
time you commence to burn someone's house or brag about "killin' a man in a
fist fight".. you might want to check 'em out a little better.. huh ?

The evil grinning and reloading shit can get your cowardly ass in a lot of
trouble .. I love it..

You might want to consider that I was successfully dealing with wannbe
bullies like you before you were born.. Still do..

You might want to consider furthur, your clown that posted that newsbreaking
and anonymous piece of news, couldn't be dragged within a city block of this
"old man".. Frick and Frack, as I call them.. have been trying that trash on
me for years.. Hasn't worked yet, and won't work again.. Try again..
