In my puny little world, I think this group is a highlight of the
internet. I can instantly get my house problems analyzed by dozens of
like minded folks, expert to hacks like me, it is just a great place
however--- WHAT I ABSOLUTELY HATE - about the group is this:

Quite often someone posts a benign problem, and a core group of
judgemental fools jump in berating the poster. Some examples:

Post:
How do I soundproof a room?
Answer:
Learn to control your kid

Post:
How do I get nicotine stain off the ceiling?
Answer:
Stop Smoking

Post:
I developed a new, simple device to lock the tv
Answer:
learn to control your kid

Etc etc--

It really is naseating that this minority of pompous self-rightous
gasbags feel the need in interject their redneck view of the world onto
anyone who chooses to live life a slightly different way than they do.

Get a life people, if you feel the need to dispense advice, hit the
"Dr. Phil" website and pontificate all you want. On this site, I only
want to know how to lay a better bead of caulk, not how good parents
were "back in the day"

The right answer to that question might be equally annoying to you: The
subject is far too involved for a brief newsgroup answer. Head for your
local library or book store.

A stupid question like that (no useful details given) deserves a stupid
answer. Welcome to Usenet.

My gripe is not about the internet, it is about the great minority on
this board who act like fools and love to be moralists on this board.
I like this board... it is a shame that some losers spend time on it
bashing others lifestyles, rather than sharing their knowledge about
home.repair it is just kind of sad.. to have such a great resource
poluted with the peabrains.

Usenet postings reflect life in general. People who are nice still are.
Helpful people still are.

An ASS is an ASS. A Religious nut is still a nut. Zealots of any kind don't
change.

The difference is you don't associate with ASS's or nuts in the real world.
You most likely go out of your way to avoid them.

Enjoy the good and delete or killfile the bad.

I have found that just answering the question that the OP put
forth highlights the idiocy of the fanatics. The
juxtaposition of the correct answer and the moral braying
makes it easy to see which is more welcome and helpful.

You're inferring moralism and bashing where none is implied.
It's simply that many people who actually fix real things that
have to actually work when they're done have developed a
habit of fixing the problem, not the symptom. And when the
problem is a child, that's where they advise you to direct
your effort.

If you've got special circumstances that make doing that
impossible, then it's your fault for not accurately describing
your constraints.

boo hoo hoo. What a crybaby you are.

I was just "funning" with you.

I know what you mean, but you have to realize:

Every now and then someone will post a question that has been asked a
THOUSAND times and it gets tiresome to answer them over and over again when
they could just do 30 seconds of research and find the answer.

I love to help people but every now and then I will post an answer that is
really a lame attempt at humor.

You'll live longer (from less stress) if you just ignore the answers you
don't like. You are gonna get plenty of them.....

Eternal Laws of Usenet

1. If you post and pretend to be a fool, people will believe that
you are a fool.

Corollary: If you then post and explain that you were only
pretending, nobody will change their mind.

2. The Net-Nature is very simple. Usenet is *not* dominated by
the smartest people, the most interesting people, or the most
learned people. It is dominated by the people who want to tell
other people their opinions. To expect anything else is absurd.

3. Similarly, the topics that dominate any given newsgroup are
not the most interesting, the most helpful, or the most useful.
They're the most acrimonious and the most dissent-laden. How else
could things possibly turn out?

4. A person who says, "Sorry, I had to point that out to you" is
always telling two lies. Ditto for "Sorry, I couldn't pass this
up." "I see your point but...." usually means the opposite.

5. When a fool posts deliberate flame bait, he/she has absolutely
no influence over whether he/she succeeds. You do.

6. It is easy to patronize the author of the post in which you
agree. It is equally as easy for the author to patronize you back.
This can go on for weeks on end.

Corollary: You will look clever to the people who already agree
with you and like a fool to the rest.

Second Corollary: If you post to a newsgroup to which you are new
and someone patronizes you, that can also go on for weeks on end.

7. If you feel you know something funny or clever or wise, you
may decide to post it here. Please keep in mind, you are the
4,000th person to do so.

8. If you hate or love something, there is a newsgroup where
people are discussing it. Abortion, Republicans, eating meat,
tattooing, worship, bondage, whatever. You will be tempted to
appear on that newsgroup and point out to everyone the error of
their ways. Please keep in mind that you are the 4,000th person to
do so.

9. Every newsgroup has a 'hall monitor' who senses it is his/her
job to monitor what goes on in the newsgroup. Bear in mind that
Usenet has survived all these attempts of censorship and control.

10. You, personally, are a unique, exciting, vibrant,
intelligent, wise, and self effacing individual with a great deal
to contribute to the newsgroups you select on the Net. So is every
other schmuck who posts. Get over it.

11. The demise of this newsgroup and the Net is imminent--and
always will be.

12. Internet gurus on a specific topic are a dime a dozen. It is
the people who don't know much who are rare.

I think this group is tame compared to some.
And the putdowns are usually gentle and/or funny.
What I do hate is the OT people but then they are everywhere. It is not a
forum for politics, purveyors of porn or the Jesus jockies.
And I find that it has some of the worst spelling on any newsgroup.
But hey, it's more good than bad. I've had problems solved and solved a few
myself. I've found people to be friendly, knowledgeable, prompt and they
often don't just post a reply but e-mail me directly.

Every now and then someone will post a question that has been asked a
THOUSAND times and it gets tiresome to answer them over and over again
when they could just do 30 seconds of research and find the answer.

Or, someone asks a question which, if they stood still, got quiet, and used
their heads for a moment, they'd realize MUST require a very intricate
response (soundproofing, for example). Then, they might realize that there
are entire books written on the subject, and that they'd should get to the
library, book store, or the book section at Home Depot.

Since the person posted the question, it's clear that they did NOT think
first. That suggests they might be lazy. Or, maybe they actually expect
someone to type up a 20 or 300 page response for them about soundproofing.
Depending on the mood of the person reading the question, it could be
interpreted as "I type before I think, and I like to get beat up in
response." :-)

In my puny little world, I think this group is a highlight of the
internet. I can instantly get my house problems analyzed by dozens of
like minded folks, expert to hacks like me, it is just a great place
however--- WHAT I ABSOLUTELY HATE - about the group is this:

Quite often someone posts a benign problem, and a core group of
judgemental fools jump in berating the poster. Some examples:

Post:
How do I soundproof a room?
Answer:
Learn to control your kid

Post:
How do I get nicotine stain off the ceiling?
Answer:
Stop Smoking

Post:
I developed a new, simple device to lock the tv
Answer:
learn to control your kid

Etc etc--

It really is naseating that this minority of pompous self-rightous
gasbags feel the need in interject their redneck view of the world onto
anyone who chooses to live life a slightly different way than they do.

Get a life people, if you feel the need to dispense advice, hit the
"Dr. Phil" website and pontificate all you want. On this site, I only
want to know how to lay a better bead of caulk, not how good parents
were "back in the day"

I think this group has a lot of great knowledge and insight. And
usually the anwers are pretty good. Some answers are questionable but
for free advice, it probably equlivelant to asking the guy standing
next to you at HD.

The good natured ribbing and jokes have to be taken in humor. And some
critisim is deserved. If you post do some research and make your posts
with detail, you will usually get reasonable answers.

Also, post follow-up's - People like seeing the outcome of their
suggestions..
