... But the volume is getting rather annoying, as is the
strident wailing of everyone involved. I'm tired of it. It isn't making
and progress, and it isn't getting any more intelligent.
so I make the following, hopefully useful comment:
If you don't have something intelligent to say, shut up.
I looked up "irony" in the dictionary and it said "See 22...@sun.uucp".

I'm not sure whether to be amused or annoyed at responses to nearly 35- >year-old Usenet articles.

We still have one troll who pops into this group every so often, but he
is easy to ignore. Aside from the spammers, people have been genuinely
very nice and helpful (albeit sometimes a bit curmudgeonly) on the news.* >hierarchy.

Oh, gawd. You had to remind us. The endless flame war about the socmen herding proposal was around the same time as well. I forgot which was
first. Both moderated groups failed, but the two flame wars were
successful, the intent all along.

We missed you! When we were discussing your suggestion about moving >discussions from news.groups.proposals back to news.groups, you were
nowhere around. We expected a good argument from you in favor of having
no moderation, but you were gone.
I genuinely hope you're doing well!

I wasn't reading news.groups during that period. It would have been
the same arguments I made to you earlier about removing
news.groups.proposals and returning to unmoderated configging
discussions.
You were either persuaded when I first made those arguments or you weren't.
