I've followed this newsgroup for many years; picked up a lot of

But the newsgroup has deteriorated, and now rarely contains useful
information but is flooded with half-witticisms, usually posted by
people who couldn't even drive a nail. I don't have the time or
inclination to follow the group anymore, so I am moving on.

When usenet became popular, many predicted that the vulgarians would
destroy it; others felt that the vulgarians would be driven out by
posters with useful information, who were not afraid to call a turd
a turd. They felt that objectionable posters would find a more
appropriate forum, realizing that they were only embarassing
themselves, but that has not proven the case here; apparently a
fool doesn't realize that he is a fool.

It *is* sad when nice people leave...like the good die young, and you
will live forever! ( ?° _? ?°)

And just *how* do you know he was a nice person? I've read this group for
years, too and don't recognize his name, so just how do you know?
