Default A new Year's resolution....for spammers and trolls

I have decided that any posts that are cross-posted will get their poster
killfiled. If they don't have the integrity to post on each group
separately, they don't have anything I want to waste my time reading.

The two of you are apparently real assettes. Crossposting is NOT spamming,
nor is it trolling, which btw is what your post is. (Yes, trollers and
spammers do often crosspost, but get it right.)

One of the ancient rules of USENET, btw, was that posts like yours and this
one, about "process", are as bad as spamming and trolling.

Um, thanks. I went on a long walk (1 1/2 hours) and feel a lot better now.


Getting back to hard core low carb as of today!

If you crosspost, you're an "assette" in all the groups you crosspost
to, not to be confused with an asset, which most crossposters aren't.

A newsreader that can filter on the basis of cross-posting in the
"Newsgroups" header is something devoutly to be wished.

I share your exasperation with all the totally stupid x-posted stuff we have
seen here. But I recall in the past we would sometimes get some *excellent*
and appropriate posts that were cross-posted to one or two other groups,
such as diabetes, nutrition, exercise, weight-lifting etc.

Not so much any more. though technically cross-posting is not a "sin" on
usenet. However, I'm still taking it on a case-by-case basis. But whatever
keeps you peaceful, here at asdl-c, and posting. And a happy new year to ya.

Apparently, you neither understood my coinage as such (I was insulting the
two of you), nor the point: railing against crossposting is not only
puerilely wrongheaded, but itself a poor thing to do according to painfully
wrought and now near-forgotten tradition.

Oh, I understood it, it's just that your insult was sadly lacking, so I
jazzed it up a little bit for you.
