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

You did not look up the quotation, even after I posted a correction.
The corrected phrase above remains a misquotation.
Do you know who wrote the line?
This guy?

The thing is, there are true Patriots, who Love America, in her original
form (and really disapprove of what the scoundrels are doing to her), and
there are the scoundrels who hide behind the flag: "You disagree with our
Beloved Infallible Fearless Leader? You're UNPATRIOTIC!!!!!!!"

Hardly. I was merely demonstrating that the sentence you wrote:

Captain Obvious?

Thanks. :-)

I like that, since it seems to indicate that you think I can
separate the wheat from the chaff.

I can, and I'm not interested in eating chaff.

Nor, apparently, in producing demonstrations of truth for your
opinions, Captain Oblivious.

---
Now it's Captain Oblivious?
I see. It's one or the other depending on your mood?

Remember R2? That's a pretty good demo and so far you haven't
posted an answer. Perhaps because - oh, I don't know - you don't
want to have to admit to the fact that it's true and lose what
little face you've got left?

The only face he has left is troll face. Let's take even that from

ISTM you're the one who's doing the following since you wandered in

The "immense popularity" of your posts is probably due to the same
reason people can't take their eyes away from a train wreck.

I suspect that you may be on to something, he seems think that USENET
is some kind of popularity contest and that mere volume of posts is
popularity and acclaim. That would clarify what some of the pain
sluts that have come around are after. They seem to think that
universal derision is glory.

Nice!

Ed

Thanks. I converted the large flag shot into wallpaper for various
resolutions. They will be available on the new Central Florida
Veteran's website, when its launched. Several local agencies have asked
for copies of all the photos I take at these events. I just finished
downgrading a Emachines 1220 from XP home to Windows ME, to use my
favorite graphics tools. They crash or hang under XP, but have never
failed me on the earlier Emachines Etower 733i, running ME.

Several of those photos are crooked, because the only clear spot I
could find was contoured for drainage. I had to keep my cane in my left
hand, leaving me with one free hand for the camera & tripod. I am
trying to rebuild a used power chair, and build a joystick controlled
telescoping mast and camera mount to be able to take better pictures.

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.

He brings it up in every sig file attached to every post. You're being
disingenuous which I suppose is about the most we can expect from you.
Do you always get this upset at sig files? Perhaps you shouldn't read
them. ...or grow some skin. A brain wouldn't hurt either.
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.

You really are incredibly stupid. I offer disclaimers and explain the
disclaimers and you go right on insisting that I'm dissing Michael's
military service. Military partisanship has no bearing on the course
of science, truth, or issues of

public censorship.
The only one attempting to "censor" anyone here is you. You don't
like Michael's sig, so berate his service to get his sig removed.
That looks pretty childish to everyone here. Fruitless and childish.

Credit where credit is due. Sick has no credit, and is socially
bankrupt. There's still hope for you. ;-)
Hmm, I didn't take it as a compliment, for either. Kinda like,

*Your* say-so?! Who is attempting censorship now? You're a friggin'
panty-waisted hypocritical moron. Tell me, how much work is it to be
dumber than a donkey?
Don't ask me, I never wrote that. Looks as Lester chimed in.
Go talk to him.

Several of those photos are crooked, because the only clear spot I
could find was contoured for drainage. I had to keep my cane in my left
hand, leaving me with one free hand for the camera & tripod. I am
trying to rebuild a used power chair, and build a joystick controlled
telescoping mast and camera mount to be able to take better pictures.
You should be able to photoshop the list out of those pictures pretty
easily. The first one is a nice shot.
