And your point is?  If it is elitist to point out the absurdity
of posting a response to a weather report request from someone in
California, then I am guilty.  If it is elitist to ring the bozo
bell when people are crying and moaning about public tv asking
for support, call me elitist.

But, my point was that this is not fidonet.

And "dateline" blah blah blah "to all" etc with line lengths nearly
300 characters long is annoying, as are 14 line, advertising hype
type signatures.

Well, that could be because maybe you don't know much about that
subject.  By a great many accounts, the Buddha had quite a sense
of humor, and a low threshold on the bozo meter.

Thanks, I will.  You too.

if you are thinking about used CDs you may just want to drop by Wax n Facts
at Little 5 points. BookNook at Clairmont & Buford Hwy may be worth checking
out too, especially for classical and jazz, even though I think they are
little costlier than WnF (I think around 9 bucks on the average). it depends
I guess.. [For your own ref: I found WnF has good collections of Jazz, and
Alternative stuff on vinyls and I sometime find good bargains in their used
CD bins. They also stock new CDs of the Alternative genre and the collection
seems to be good but I am not a good candidate to comment on that. I sometimes
go to Wuxtry near Emory campus and find it interesting too. And for classical
on vinyl Fantasyland at Garden Hills on P-Tree is pretty good.]

But I doubt if you are going to buy used CDs for Christmas gifts..|-)

Any recommendations on where to go in Atlanta for cheap CDs?  I'm looking
for Christmas gifts (some current releases and some older jazz/classical)
and have never bought CDs here before. 

Thanks in advance!

Try this on your modem:

ATM2DT7671784;

It's the number of the National Weather Service Forecast Office 
near Hartsfield..... Granted, it ain't digital, but you're UUCP,
so nabbing the weather across the net is outta the question.

I've always been pleased with Atlanta CD.  In looking for inexpensive disks,
you might try scanning the -used- CD racks that many shops have.  Atlanta CD
keeps a used disc pile; so does MusiCDrome.  I've bought a few discs that way,
and I've never encountered a corruptive scratch.

     Don't judge the Atlanta United Way by the failures of the national leadership.  Locally, the United Way is still the primary service organizer.  It is even the place that ACOG recommends you talk to if you are interested in getting volunteer experience for the Olympics.

Check out Tower Records in the "Around Lenox" shopping mall, just to the west
of the big 'un.  This is for new Cds.  For used, I second Deeptendu's comments
on Wax 'n' Facts and Book Nook.

 JI> Why do fidonet users think that usenet is a way cool bbs?

     A little education for you.  FidoNet is not a BBS but a network of almost 20,000 nodes around the world.  It is, in fact, the largest network of BBSs and PC-based electronic mailers in the world.  During the last decade, FidoNet technology has advanced to unite thousands of users to whom rich resources such as the internet was out of reach.

 JI> Do fidonet users post their fido bbs repartee to usenet 
 JI> groups so that we won't be deprived of seeing their neat
 JI>  signatures? Or do they just want to annoy the hell out 
 JI> of us?

     No, FidoNet users, such as myself, post to usenet newsgroups because we have the right and technology to access a public forum such as this.  I have run gisatl as a fully registered UUCP site for two years.  I also gatew mail between UUCP and FidoNet, allowing many internet users access to a new dimension in networking, and providing an avenue for Atlanta area BBS operaters and users into the internet community.

     For some reason, based on this and your personal mail, you hold a grudge against me personally or FidoNet in general.  You decry my signature, but ignore the fact that signatures originated in the Internet.  You are undoubtably upset about FidoNet network routing information while seeing the UUCP header information in each post as normal. 

     What you do not want to understand is that I post here because this newsgroup is for general Atlanta discussion.  And as a native of Atlanta, I want to discuss Atlanta generally.  I am sorry if that annoy's the hell out of "us".
