Jeez Loueez!

What a huge amount of Flak gets bandied about in the name of 
motorcycling. 

Yes I was the original poster, 
Yes I did get run off, 
Yes I have had a communicated with 'Roid (curious handle that he has)

Yes the amount of actual information that i recieved from r.m was ~nil

and I wonder what people mean when they say "let's keep the family together"
when this 'family' has so little to offer. 

and I marvel at the magnitude of snivel and drivel one finds under the 
subject headings *Harley*.  the substance has been drown out and chased
away by tooo much useless brand bashing/chauvinism 

Yes I am beginning to lose my sense of idealism, what a drag.
I only wish that I *could* just go out and ride, but alas I have
not the motorcycle to ride nor the advice to buy it.

but I'll get over it

Okay: technically, "c.u.emulators.msdos" _is_ correct.  However, I
would prefer the name "c.u.emulating.msdos" so as to reduce the number
of people mistakenly posting about DOS-based emulation of UNIX like
the MKS toolkit.

>All that aside, though, I prefer "dos_under_unix" to "emulators.dos".

So do I.  Only MS-DOS has the incredible market presence to push
emulation on so many UNIX systems.

There's a thought.  Does anyone else have words of support or
criticism for "c.u.dos-with-unix"?

I am probably in the minority, but I do have a Microport SysV/AT
system, and I'd like not to have to wade through about a 50 articles
a day dealing with ISC, Dell, et. al. to find stuff of direct bearing

Y'know, I've heard an awful lot about ba.transportation, but so little
of it makes it here (only on cross-posts).  I'd love to hear what you 
folks are up to.

I would subscribe to a .transit newsgroup, but as Ilana Stern (did I get

than rec.transit.  I don't consider my daily cycle commute to be 
recreation.  (Not *that* much fun!)

I would not like that because some site willing to take all Unix groups

I like being able to feed comp.unix.* or whatever as long as Unix

Actually, I think the intention was to create comp.unix.coherent,

I'm sorry for the band width use, but I have come up with a new idea
for some of the mailers that would like to see this group.
In addition to the rest a new section 
[a] Adventure skeletons
A section where people place ideas for adventures to others.  The plot
encounters, villians, etc.  can all be left for others to use in thier
campaigns.
[b]  Adventuring Guild
List of NPC's or possible quick PC's for use in campaigns
[c] Villians Cave
A group of the nastiest Villians you ever fought.  For campaigns in
all lands.

How Can I start the voting for ALL these items in my newsgroup.  I would
