Even net.veterans are guilty of this now. (I have been too, so I'm
not trying to be holier than thou.)
Alt.sources is a precious net resource where you can get red hot code
without the dead weight of a moderator's icy hand. We are currently
p***ing people off because alt.sources is full of chatter about Germany
and Russia and Elvis and Peanut Butter.
PLEASE EVERYBODY STOP IT!
Now I crossposted this into alt.sources too, but if you look at the
header you'll see the OTHER thing people should be doing but they're
not -- including a "Followup-To:" line in any crossposted article.
(I wish newsreader programs would enforce this!) By directing followup
discussion to a ".d" newsgroup I prevent this posting from turning
into yet another alt.sources flame war. Kapisch?
Get with it people. Or no dessert. :-)
