colloquially, to "dis" someone is similar to flaming them, so this

My response:

No, you damn jerk, I just don't have much use for "use a killfile when off-
topic messages start swamping your newsgroup and prompting people to drop out
rather than creating a new alt group where the off-topic messages belong
anyway."

The net.dictators always haul out "use a killfile" when the subject of off-
topic messages comes up.  

To this I now respond in MAC's vein:  Suppose MAC's favorite newsgroup, say,
alt.fan.masturbation, is invaded by people who want to discuss, say, the
monastic life and the virtue of prayer.  These people swamp the newsgroup with
discussions of whether it is better to vow poverty or chastity.  Eventually
the traffic in the group drops off to the point that most of the messages are
about monasticism and MAC isn't getting his daily dose of messages about
autoeroticism.  He trots over to alt.config and proposes a newsgroup about
monasticism.  Everyone screams "USE A KILLFILE!"

What does MAC do in this case?  I suppose he uses a killfile and thus only
gets one or two messages in the group to his liking each week.  To each their
own.

From: jonc@status.gen.nz (Jon Clarke, Z*NET Pacific)
Date: Tue, 29 Sep 92 21:35:14 GMT
Organization: The Z*NET Global News Gateway. Parnell New Zealand

 Greetings,
 
 This is a proposal for alt.znet.fnet and alt.znet.pc both news
 groups associated to the Z*NET ASCII computer magazines found
 here on the nets and out there in modem land.
 
 Z*NET is a free ASCII based magazine for all brands of computers
 and is produced by Rovac Inc. from New Jersey, USA.   We have
 writers and editors world-wide all contributing items as they 
 happen in their countries and presented weekly.  With the inception
 in the early 80's we now cover topic like 
 
  - OS2
  - Unix
  - Windows
  - Mac
  - Vax/AS400/HP400 and so on and on..
  - Hardware and reviews of all types.
 
 Over the course of the last 6-7 years we have been alined to the Atari
 world of computers and indeed still produce Atari-Explorer-Online, but
 we have set up a series of FNET (not FIDO NET) conferences covering
 all topics and computers.  These conferences have been enjoyed by
 thousands in North Amercia, Europe and New Zealand. How ever as we
 now have the technology to gateway these directly into usenet we
 feel it is time to propose alt.znet.fnet .  Sample traffic indicates
 an average of 75 messages per day (see not below re alt FAQ).
 
 I would like to also take the liberty to propose alt.znet.pc to carry
 all items relating to the weekly  Z*NET PC International ASCII magazine ie..
 
 - Letters to the editor
 - Letters to the writers
 - Items of Interest
 - Z*NET USA
 - Z*NET Canada
 - Z*NET United Kingdom
 - Z*NET Germany
 - Z*NET Holland
 - Z*NET Pacific
 - discussion on items/articles
 - etc etc.

 Alone with a sample of each weeks edition of Z*NET PC, free to all 
 sites who wish to take it. As a small point Z*NET PC International
 was rated the THIRD best ascii magazine this year (not bad for its 
 first year of production) world wide.
 
 I have not sent out a control message to create these news groups but
 as per the FAQ in news.newsgroups I have sent samples out for 
 distribution in the alt.znet.fnet newsgroup. I am glad to see the
 positive email I have had and thus this posting to alt.config to
 make these  real alt news groups.

 Happy reading

Subject: PROPOSAL:alt.bass.tab
Date: 2 Oct 92 19:26:32 GMT
Organization: University of Delaware


	I don't know exactly how this process works but here it goes.
Speeking for many of the people subscribed to alt.guitar.bass and
alt.guitar.tab, we bassists would like to begin a new newsgroup.  I was
informed that this alt.config is the path you need to walk to
get there.  The bass guitar players need a place to post music to each
other without having to weed out the guitar music in alt.guitar.tab.
I posts the idea and got 10-20 positive responses in only a couple days in
addition to the several posted in responce to my thread.  I'm sure that 
most users interested in the creation of this new group are not sunscribed
to alt.config so I will also cross-post this letter to those groups
involved so they know where to respond to it.
	I was reading some articles on this group and have been trying to 
figure out how this process works.  If I understand correctly, you may
(or must) have to remove one newsgroup in order to create a new one.  If this
is the case then may I suggest removing alt.guitar.base.  It is a TYPO
newsgroup that should have been alt.guitar.basS but was obviosly incorrectly
entered.  There are no articles posted to this group(Ever) and I think
that the bass playing community on this network would benefit more from
a group that actually has music(rather than nothing).
	Also i think it is important to add that an alt. listing of this
group is most appropriate since all other guitar/bass related groups
are also in alt.
	Thank you for your time.

Discordians WILL meet on the net, and I think a newsgroup would trivialize
that, plus we would get tons of wankers... see alt.subgenius if you don't

Hey Jon, fuck off and die. You still haven't explained why you're so
completely clueless that you can't even create an alt group even though you
claim to have been reading alt.config. My hypothesis is that you're
mindbogglingly stupid, but that's just a guess at this point.

However, I would like to offer one or two words of congratulations, it's
nice to see that you can muster the IQ points necessary to construct
grammatically correct sentences when you put the remnants of your mind to
it. I hope it continues.

You know Joel, maybe it's just me but, you come across as little cry baby
control freak who whines when he doesn't get his way. Reading and posting
to Usenet is a privilege not a right.

I repeat: Reading and posting to Usenet is a privilege not a right.

Here, let me break it down of you.  People have several options open to them.
There are many different newsreaders available for free to whoever wants
them.  If you or anyone else out there wants to drive a car with no
windsheild wipers, fine.  But don't cry to me about not being able to
drive in the rain.

I could care less if this group gets created.  That's not my point.  You
came in here crying about people posting inappropriate material in
a.f.g-s.  You proposed that to get rid of them another group should
be created.  Fine.  Who is to say that will get rid of them? 
Remember, it was not these people who requested this group.  Who is to
say they will use it.  Suppose people start posting material that doesn't
fit your narrow definition of what a ghost story is?  What are you going
to do then? 

I went over to a.f.g-s to check out what is going on and I found out
that while there were a few opposed the the Cthutlu thread in a.f.g-s
there were also a few who saw nothing wrong with it.

I am not assuming that.  Please, allow me to expand on my car anology:

1) Driving is a privilege not a right.

2) If you want to drive in the rain, make sure your car has wipers.

Well, it looks like you will continue to have trouble driving in the rain.

Perhaps we should set up a server which randomly reposts FAQs from other 
groups into alt.lurker. Thus giving Lurkers something to lurk over.

As previously pointed out, any post to alt.lurker will result in a flame war on the
off topic posts, so the server will need to set follow-up to either SYSLOG,IGN,
or alt.flame.

Many of them must be asking:
   "Who are these strange people?"
   "Why are they taking the piss?"
   "How do I post?"
   "Why does this dead.article file keep growing?"
   "Will anyone notice if I post before my 6 months is up?"

	  Discordian literature (Illuminatus!, the Principia Discordia, etc.),
	  ideas for pranks and pseudo-pranks

It would fnord also be a great place for Discordians to meet on the Net.
