Model Forum / General / Rockets / October 2007Rocketry noise...
Been noticing not just here but on many of the other usenet forums, how the noise to signal ratio is much better. Noticed too the membership to this group is merely 428. Probably some sort of filtering going on... Interesting storm *that* was... :-) Also noticed that the feature for the post to dissappear after 10 days is gone... Rocketry related - Weather's getting nice... Probably time to build and paint something... > Been noticing not just here but on many of the other usenet forums, > how the noise to signal ratio is much better.

Retention policies are up to your local news administrator. Usenet is just a delivery mechanism.

You mean like "Sir, lose the spam or lose the Internet"? ;-) SignatureAt first there was just one planet. And then there were two... Rocketry Planet (http://www.rocketryplanet.com) and now Our Planet (http://our.rocketryplanet.com)! LOL >>>Been using google so much for usenet reading, figured they owned >>>usenet by now...

Life is >>good.. > > I'd love to see a confirmation of that. Below is a response from such an entity. I removed the actual name, because I do not have their permission to pass on the email response -- not sure I need it, but the name of the source should be evident. It's also probably not the confirmation you would like, but the best I can provide. All I know; within two days of receiving the response, our little moron bailed and has not been a problem sense. Is it a coincidence; could be or maybe not. I know I wasn't the only individual sending abuse responses, but I did send well over four dozen abuse responses. Some of the responses were returned with a basic sorry about that statement. To those responses, I reminded them of the fact, "it would be better to attempt some form of corrective action now, than be forced to respond to a potential class action legal proceeding". I'll not debate the possibility of that happening as I'm no lawyer, but it sure did result in a few interesting responses; one of them below.

I got only the first couple of sentences, not the suggestion of "large-scale improvements". Dwayne Surdu-Miller > as I'm no lawyer, but it sure did result in a few interesting > responses; one of them below. <snip> It was exactly the sort of response I'm happy to see. But since my recollection is that the jerk wasn't posting through xxxxxx, and that's not my usenet feed, I suspect it's a happy coincidence. >> as I'm no lawyer, but it sure did result in a few interesting >> responses; one of them below. [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > recollection is that the jerk wasn't posting through xxxxxx, and > that's not my usenet feed, I suspect it's a happy coincidence. However, the most common suspect did have a profile set up on xxxxxx with one of his interests listed as (paraphrasing) "abusing usenet", and did so on several forums. In addition, he falsely used the nyms of registered xxxxxx users and commented (again, paraphrasing) on how xxxxxx was a joke to work around. Maybe that gave them a little incentive. dream on you dumbass clueless losers.hahahahahahaha your all like a bunch of babbling old ladies with nothing but speculations and assumptions. You all need more than a clue, and its about time Freddie burys that old nasty stinking corpse too........

Remember, it's mind over matter -- you don't matter and collectively, I doubt anyone minds. Do you still need a reminder of where you can get help? If so, Google is also your friend. I guess I'll create another filter, as you can't seem to help yourself. plonk..

Come on Fred, who's twisting your arm to respond to the dickless mofo troll? All it is ascii drivel from a troll. Your better than that.
