The newsgroup and its downfall!

5 posts by 5 people · 03 Jul 1997 - 06 Jul 1997

I've seen all I wish to see over the last four weeks ! I've tabulated the last 5,000 + messages that have shot back and forth across this newsgroup that resembled night range manuvers in the military ! People posting responses to someone's message about "this sim doesn't have a good frame rate on my computer" then someone responds "bullshit I have a .... and it runs fine" The point of this is this : 1) When I first subscribed to this group most of the content was "I need help" and most of the responses were "try this" now I have to sort through 15-20 messages to get threads like that ! 2) Who gives a flying *** whether you , him , her , the dog, whomever is self proclaimed moderator ?? I think there are a few WELL RESPECTED LEADERS so to speak who post and respond to this group with helpful and useful and most importantly RESPECTFUL replies to a persons call to help ! (I saw one response recently "read the manual stupid!") Now thats helping a bunch!!!! 3) It's no wonder that now more useful information can be obtained from RESPECTED sim racers website than here . It's simply a complete turnoff to listen to you guys play judge and jury or executioner . I'm sure some of you will want to start the usual "*** you" responses and that's fine I wont be reading any because I don't feel like hearing baby food drool out of newborn mouths . To those of you RESPECTED sim racers who try to help those of us that need it (me for sure) THANK YOU !!! I appreciate your efforts ! You have been most helpful and I appreciate it ! To those of you "I'm better than you , No it dont work even if you say it does on your computer, my word is more important than yours , if some of you think ... mother ***ers I say good riddance and I'll be smoking your ass at a race track soon !!!

Unfortunately the moronic minority will always raise its head, in every section of society, even usenet, (or should that be especially usenet!!!!!) I agree that there has been a noticeable decline, but that should make us appreciate even more the helpful, informative, supportive threads, of which there are still many. d:~)) **Peter**
