(0T) A prayer for Fred

The following might make no sense to some people, to others it might.
Sorry about the cross post, and the off topic post.

roland


Hail Freyja;

Would you be so kind;
As to remove Loki's chaos from
Fred's heart, soul and mind!
He does not comprehend,
kith and kin do not abide,
people who disrupt the orlog,
and wyrd of the world,
May Thor protect his mind
From Loki's chaos return to bind!

Thanks for your kind thoughts. You have learned something about using the
sign (OT). Very Good. You missed the class on Cross Posting, it is not
allowed on Usenet, considered spam. Please re-read the "Guidelines".

A qoute from the Netnews section of RFC 1855. The thing has not
changed over the years

If you feel an article will be of interest to more than one Newsgroup, be sure to CROSSPOST the article rather than individually post it to those groups. In general, probably only five-to-six groups will have similar enough interests to warrant this.

Cross posting to five to six groups is normally ok, more than that is
considered spam. Cross posting the same message to a number to times
to different groups is also considered spam.

Fred, you need professional help!

You called, Sir? This is Professor Feeesh. I gave a very similar
"crosspost lecture" to the "professionals" (statisticians) in three
newsgroups (sci.stat.math, sci.stat.edu, and sci.stat.consult) in
which I have crossposting "lectures" on how some of them (often
the same ones in all three groups) have bungled and malpracticed
the professional subjects in those groups, "statistics", as well as
explaining how they should be done properly.

This was what I said two days ago when some reader "separate
posted" the same post in TWO of those three group, when it was
actually most appropriate for the THIRD. I responded to his
question by cross-posting it in all three of those groups after this
preface:

RF Cross-posting is perfectly valid for topics of interest to more
RF than 1 group, Even for those who are against cross-posting,
RF for whatever reason, it is generally agreed that "separate
RF posting" of the same post in more than one group is WORSE,
RF which is what you did, for some apparent reason, while my
RF response is likely to be understood by tne readership of
RF sci.stat.math (in which this topic is certainly of interest in
RF relation to other regression topics being discussed in all
RF three groups).

Google has it's own unofficial SPAM-filter of outgoing posts.
I was flamed by some jerk who used the name "Nassau_
Fishing_Pier", cross-posted in 10 newsgroups. It's only when
I tried to REPLY (using google) that I discover such crossposts
to over 5 groups, because groups.google does NOT allow
anyone to cross-post to more than 5 groups.

That is consistent with what roland said,

Cross posting to five to six groups is normally ok,

The COROLLARY to cross-posting is that one can CHOOSE
how many groups to send one's follow-up to, and thus will
get only follow-ups from those in the specific groups. Thus,
I am posting this in rec.travel.cruises ONLY, because I have
never posted or read from the other two groups, and don't
care about reading follow-ups from those alt.religion.* groups.

OTOH, I do expect to hear some NOISE, in several of hte
groups I post, no matter what I post, from the Troll and
our Dickhead Goldhaber, who both like to use the term
"pond scum" while making the posts of vacuous content
except their own scum. :-)

Google now has a new feature of "view profile" with each posted
message, giving the most recent posts of the author (from the
time the current post was made), as well as the frequency of
HISTORY of the author's post. For example, below are posts
from my latest "profile" showing three different (related) topics
in the three groups (all cross-posted) from my "view profile":

# ROBUST REGRESSION sci.stat.edu 15 hours ago
# Review of Frank Harrell's

It was my oversight that I forgot to name the infamous net-Troll
Gregory Morrow, aka Greg Morrow, who used to be a trolling
partner of the toothless EvelynVogtGamble (Divamanque), as
described in "Greg and Evelyn -- two Trolls that pass in the night".

Greggie's latest posts are all in rec.food.cooking, which is why
he is "full of it" all the time.

If you click the "All 37 groups -- 4236 messages" banner in his
google "profile", you'll get those groups

But he Trolls from gregorymorrow in his earthlink address also
and it has "All 60 groups -- 1564 messages"

It's under that list you find rec.travel.air, rec.travel.europe,
rec.travel.cruises, and other travel groups.

Greggie Morrow diversified his TROLLING by trolling with
different names and from different ISPs -- and you have to
know all his TROLL aliases before you can find many of
his trolling scums.

Perhaps Dr. Nomen should do a profile of Gregory Morrow like
the job he did on Voight or JF, giving all the alias under which
Greg Trolls.

This is a needed Addendum for Greggie, rec.travel.cruises is
how one of his home base from which to cast trolls. You all
know Dickhead Goldhaber of cousse, except his daughter
Danni, who fakes (while giggling behind her keyboard) that
she doesn;t know who Dickhead is (in one post) and then
claims she is not Dickhead's keeper in another. Fred is
Danni's favorate poster in rec.travel.cruises. :-))

Neither has the meaning of someone SPAMMING in ngs. I wasn't

worse spammer in USENET, Ray Goldenberger!

Fred wins hands down.

Ray is one of the rare spamming monsters that survived in any
newsgroups. He started his posting history as the real SPAMMER,
posting his spams about his travel agency in various travel ngs.
Presumably he was kicked out by the other groups that he finally
found refuge in rec.travel.cruises which has become more or less
his home base for SPAMMING.

Some readers of rec.travel.cruises are also readers of one or more
scuba diving newgroups. If Ray Goldenberg pulls his "I have this
news release from anybody ... to bait readers to use his
travel agency, and post the same thing in a group like rec.scuba
or rec.scuba.locations he would have been laughed or flamed out
of those groups within a week, for his obvious, thinly disguised
SPAMS.

In the mid 1990s there were some SPAMMERS in rec.scuba who
were not nearly as blatent as Ray, and after several years of
campaign to rid those "cretins", let by Jim Greenlee, Chuck Norad,
and a few others, with slogans like

BOYCOTT CRETINS THAT RUDELY ADVERTISE IN USENET
DISCUSSION GROUPS

and

BOYCOTT BUSINESSES THAT RUDELY ADVERTISE IN USENET
DISCUSSION GROUPS

rec.scuba has become a spam-free group beause as soon as
someone tries to spam there, he would have been told by the
old-timers that he is not welcome in that group and that he would
LOSE more business than he could gain by spamming there.

That's the way it SHOULD be, according all Netiquette Tips
and Roadmaps.

Having read rec.travel.cruises for a year or three now, never
have I seen so many spammed by so few and tolerated by
so many. For whatever Roland and Fred were quibbling
about, Fred was spot on when he told Roland that
Ray Goldenberg should take SPAMS to marketing ngs for
selling Ray's goods or spams.

DISCUSSION GROUPS

rec.scuba has become a spam-free group beause as soon as
someone tries to spam there, he would have been told by the
old-timers that he is not welcome in that group and that he would
LOSE more business than he could gain by spamming there.

That's the way it SHOULD be, according all Netiquette Tips
and Roadmaps.

Having read rec.travel.cruises for a year or three now, never
have I seen so many spammed by so few and tolerated by
so many. For whatever Roland and Fred were quibbling
about, Fred was spot on when he told Roland that
Ray Goldenberg should take SPAMS to marketing ngs for
selling Ray's goods or spams.

Hi, Bob.

Since it is too cold for golf, I decided to go over to this relatively
spam free group rec.scuba. You are right, there really is little spam
there.

But the troll level is unreal! If I didn't know I was in a scuba group,
I'd think I was in a political group. Heck an honest spammer wouldn't
even be noticed there! ;-)

Bob,

You are attempting to put words in my mouth. I was pointing out to
Ray, (and other travel agents that post on rtc) by posting a link to
RFC 1855 that his .sig file belonged as the last four lines of his
post, not in the middle of the text as he is doing.

Fred came unglued, started in on me for off topic posts, and asked why
I was not all over Ray for posting what he calls spam. Now, if you
read the charter for the newsgroup, and the RFC, there is something
about covert vs. overt advertising by travel agents in it.

Fred likes to attempt to confuse the issue by throwing out qoutes from
a charter he has made up, not the charter for the group that was voted
on.

..sig files are a time honored traditon of Usenet, and Fred has problems
with them. I was makeing an attempt at informing the travel agents to
put them back in place. Fred came unglued. Fred seems to have a
problem with me from over the years. I have a few ideas why.

So tell us why???????????

And While your at it, does this like like a piece of your work:

"Don, people on USENET really don't care what you post. The problem we
have with what you have posted is it is not on topic for any of the
groups you have posted it to."

"You should have posted this to one of the talk.politics groups. There
it would have been on topic."

"There may also be local groups for New Orleans and New York. It would
have been on topic in those groups."

"It is not on topic in rec.travel.cruises, rec.travel.caribbean,
al.toys.gi-joe, or alt.autos.subaru."

"Just post in the proper groups."
