As a "Newbie Geek" to alt.flame, I've read several disparaging and downright
rude comments directed toward one Kevin "Kebbin" Darcy.  What gives?  Why is he
so despised?  Is he dispicable?  Should I despise him, too?  Is he fungus that
oozes from the rectums of rabid lamas?  Or is he really a superior human whose
meer presence in this group causes those with puny minds to quiver like Sandy
Duncan's cheek, joisting at him with their miniscule, yet prickly verbage?

Look Pat, quoting entire articles for a one liner, a weak one liner, is pretty
stupid.  But following that up with another entire quote of the same article
just to respond to YOUR OWN idiotic joke with another even more... clueless
joke not ten minutes later is... well, pathetic.  Very much like Arthur, I
guess.  ;^)

Well, OK, here's a tie-in:  What Mr. Weaver was originally charged with was
selling two shotguns that were 1/10 of an inch shorter than the federal
minimum length.  In a libertarian society, what he did would not have been
illegal.  I find his personal beliefs abhorent, but I can find no excuse
for the behaviour of the federal marshalls.  What they did led to the
killing of innocent bystanders.

Date: 14 Sep 92 21:10:18 GMT
Organization: Adobe Systems Incorporated

Ladies and Gentlemen of alt.flame,

Are you sick and tired of reading net messages that
you hoped would give you information, only to find that
they are only asking information (that you can't answer
anyway), or rambling on with discussion that doesn't
answer the simple factual question that was asked?

I had an idea the other day regarding Usenet postings
that I would like to discuss with my esteamed (sick) [sic]
colleagues on the net.  This is why I am addressing
this august (dis?) group of experienced and concerned Usenet
denizens.  Rather than start a discussion that would no
doubt quickly lead here, I thought I would cut through
the red tape and just start the discussion here.

The idea is simply this: use a short list of standard
key letters to describe the content of a message.
The subject line begins with a collection of the
appropriate key letters, followed by "= ".  If it is a
reply, then it should also be followed by "Re: " and
then the original key letter markers.

Think of the filters we could make if usage became
widespread!

    Subject key
    -----------
    Describe the content of the message using all that apply
    in the order listed here
      * Urgency of information flow
	  T timely, relates to an event about to happen
	     followed immediately by mmdd [hh:mm]
      * Direction of information flow (one or more)
	  Q question, request
	  A answer
      * Kind of information (one or more)
	  F factual--believed by poster to be incontrovertible
	  O opinions, discussion, etc.
	  I ideas, proposals, etc.
	  H history
	  P predictions
	  M meta-discussion, incl. flame
	  Z something about this message falls outside the standard
	    set of keyletters

    Examples:
    -----------
      ba.seminars
	   TF: 0916 19:30 Dave Yost will talk on blah blah
      comp.lang.lisp

	   QF: visitors from Mars

I'd like to try this out for a while on some newsgroup
and see how it goes.  After, of course, you have all had
a chance to scorch it, trample on it, bugger it, or even
improve on it.
