Usenet Ads & Misuse From: Tony Austin <tony-ta@usa.net> Date: Wed, 04 Jun 1997 00:00:00 +0000 I see that certain people have been misusing this newsgroup. I personally believe that a quick one post ad does not cause a problem but platant re-posting is stupid. For a start, who wants to respond to an ad that has been placed in this pathetic way. It does attract attention but unfortunately the wrong kind. As for dealing with the irresonsible people, what is the point of insulting them. They probably enjoy it. Getting into stupid battles of words only fuels their passion and creates more positings. This happens one hell of a lot on compuserve which I used to belong. The best thing to do in my opinion & experienceis to LEAVE WELL ALONE. There are always going to be childish users. You have to remember that they do it for attention. If you reply and get into a war of words, you are just doing what they want. Tony Austin Up
