Moving to new form of usenet ideas?

Sorry for all the cross posting but I'm interesting in getting a serious
discussion about how usenet has become lately.

Many people are moving away from usenet because of all the spam and cooks
that have been showing up. The rate of spammer seem to be growing
exponentially(ok, not really but it feels like it).

I think maybe its time to do something about it. What I'd like to see happen
is an "upgrade" to usenet. I do not like th forum based communiations that
has sprung up lately but since it solves many of usenet's shortcommings I
believe that will will take over.

If many people feel the same way then maybe we can move on to something
better and increase the efficiency and productivity that usenet was meant
for.

Some ideas I have are:

1. Cook repellent - Some method to prevent cooks from interrupting normal
flow. Either having a voting scheme or some type of identifying means to
either completely remove them or at least make it easier to avoid them.

2. Spam repellent - Similar to Cooks.

3. Meta data - Have the ability to directly include graphics and things like
TeX into messages. For those that do not want to view it they can disable it
or have some other means to see it.

4. Specific tools for groups - Different groups have different needs for
communication. Mathematics groups need to efficiently communicate
mathematical formulas while electronics need to communicate schematics.

5. Moderation - Potentially give regular users of the group the ability to
"quasi-moderate" or in general just have a wide range of options to have
more control over groups(But not to much).

6. Non-anomality or some way to slow down spammers. Maybe better routing
data and such.

7. Potentially "Backwards compatible" with usenet - have the ability to surf
usenet with the same client to help make a smoother transition.
----

In any case this is extremely preliminary and just some thoughts. It seems
that usenet has started to go down the drain. Hopefully there are those out
there that are interested in keeping it alive. I'm thinking something very
similar to usenet but with just more "features".

If enough people are interested in doing this then maybe we can put
something together. All ideas and suggestions are welcome.

Thanks,
Jon

A lot of us have been there. That doesn't qualify us as idiots.
Fortunately relatively few were disabled. I was just trying to
understand how you think that bears on issues raised here.

It doesn't bear on any issues raised here. He uses it as his .sig,
and the only time he elaborates on it is when someone asks him about

Usually I only take effrontery with bad spelling. But in your case
I'll make an acception.

He typed boldly when the correct word is affront.
So why don't you take the matter up with the one who didn't use the
correct word? I had to make a choice. If he had the effrontery to use
poor composition the least I could do was to take affront or possibly
umbrage. In neither case would I have taken affrontery.

I use that sig file for all the newsgroups I use, and a lot of my
E-mail. I am tired of the anti-American and anti Veteran jackasses, so I
will continue to be posted to set you little idiots into a hissy fit.
It really burns your sorry ass that some veterans aren't ashamed of
having served, or continue to serve their community after they receive
their honorable discharge.
BTW: A sig file is a statment. Yours says that you aren't worth the
time to create a real sig file.

And how about you reread, with more care this time, your own previous
post Mr. "take effrontery".

Have you been there or done that? I have others here have not. And
no, it matters not to Michael's credibility. Dissing his previous

Like you can really tell the difference.

Do you two need the exposure you get by cross posting this pissing
match?

Well, I kinda like the fact that the dynamics of a public pissing
match cause the pissers to realize that they can't just slough off a
particularly well-aimed squirt, since they're being watched and the
quality of their pissing judged.

Do try to alert us before that happens.

Show up at our next memorial service and you'll hear the names of

Or you could just wave the flag at us some more. That'll be
convincing.

Nothing at all.

Because he insists on draping himself in the flag and acting like he's
the only one who's ever been there or done that and that it somehow
has a bearing on the issues raised here.
---
Funny, but in my view that's not the way he comes across at all in
that he very seldom, if ever, brings up his military experiences
unless someone asks him about them.

You, however, have made a couple of unwarranted references to
flag-waving and have been generally belligerent toward him,
ostensibly because of his military background, so I think there's a
little more going on in your head than you want to admit.

He typed boldly when the correct word is affront.

So why don't you take the matter up with the one who didn't use the
correct word? I had to make a choice. If he had the effrontery to use
poor composition the least I could do was to take affront or possibly
umbrage.

---
No, the least you could have done was nothing at all.

In which case I'd be fully on a par with you.

Oh, my, what a stunning rebuke!

What are you, about 12 years old?

>>In neither case would I have taken affrontery.

???

affrontery - to insult to the face by behavior or language

Used: "And you, Scarecrow, have the affrontery
to ask for a brain..."
(The Wizard speaking to the Scarecrow as the
foursome first meet him)

My dictionary disagrees. But then I expect it would with most movie
citations.
---
Perhaps an unabridged, or newer, dictionary is something you might
want to look for.

Also, it seems to be in more or less common use:

You really are incredibly stupid. I offer disclaimers and explain the
disclaimers and you go right on insisting that I'm dissing Michael's

Well here's the explanation, junior: Whenever I run across nasty
little half-baked juvenile dipshits like you, who have an axe to
grind and want to be slapped around a little, I'm always happy to
oblige, but I always post at a level which I'm sure you'll be able
to comprehend. And, of course, that level falls into the area of
maturity which your pubescent raging hormones force upon you, so I

As far as the US flag? I posted some pictures that I took on
Memorial Day at our Veteran's Park. It brought out a horde of
idiots like you to bitch, and make lewd comments.

I suspect they may have been complaining more about your religion
than their partiotism.


You truly are the donkey's twin. When you run out of facts, drag
ANY
relgion into the thread as a smokescreen.

And which facts did you have in mind exactly? Yours or someone
elses.

The track record of your posts is facts enough.

Hardly. My reply to your statement that the least you could do
would be to take affront or possibly umbrage was to illustrate the
logical inconsistency in your reasoning by pointing out that there
was a course you could have taken which would have allowed you to
do even less.
Why don't you explain it to us.

Silly boy, I just did.

I doubt that you can go low enough to reach its level. I've seen

I take it you're an expert on scoundrels? There is no way that

I don't claim partriotism as a basis for truth; you do.

Where? Give proof to all the people that you've been bothering with
your mindless drivel.

It is a group of photos from our Veteran's park earlier this year.

It is still on the Supernews servers, but I put it up as a temporary
web page until I launch my new website.
http://home.earthlink.net/~fay.terre...-day-2007.html

These are reduced images, because of the 10 MB limit for that website.

Admitting your problem is the first step to getting help. Not only

Yes.

That certainly explains your immaturity.

But it doesn't explain yours.

Well here's the explanation, junior: Whenever I run across nasty
little half-baked juvenile dipshits like you, who have an axe to
grind and want to be slapped around a little, I'm always happy to
oblige, but I always post at a level which I'm sure you'll be able
to comprehend. And, of course, that level falls into the area of
maturity which your pubescent raging hormones force upon you, so I
gauged my target accurately, it seems.
Word salad and buzzword bingo. And we're still awaiting demonstrations
of truth for your opinions, princess.
