Let's post willy-nilly. Not only do these postings not contribute to any discussion, they involve the wasteful quoting of an entire article with minimal additions. Further, people posting responses at distant sites with different news propagation speeds may cause cascades to splinter into multiple, divergent cascades, filling a newsgroup with garbage postings. These messages are transmitted around the world to thousands of computers, wasting network resources and costing money for people who pay to receive Usenet news. Cascades are similar to chain letters, in that they not only seem to take on a life of their own as they replicate but also do not serve any constructive purpose.
Cascades also frustrate people who are trying to carry on discussions in a newsgroup.
Please do not participate in cascades. You will help make Usenet a much more enjoyable forum for discussion. This is document afhb in domain all from the Knowledge Base. No, and I'd like to ask a consultant. Online Give us some feedback with our User Survey .
