Pet Forum / Aquaria / Cichlids / February 2004RAFC family, RedForeman and D.S.Kabatwhatever
In regards the "exploding" thread "On Sunday" which is being crossposted: D.S.Kabawhatever is clearly a troll, probably a 12 year old who doesn't have his Daddy's permission to use the ol' computer. His involvement in RAFC is entirely limited to this single thread and he is not, nor has he ever been, an active (or even passive) participant in rec.aquaria.freshwater.cichlids. The best thing to do is simply ignore his posts or give him the *PLONK*; experience shows that people like this soon bore themselves and move on to other activities, like playing with blocks or toy soldiers. We can't control the crossposting, so this thread will probably continue to appear in RAFC until it finally dies out; but for the regulars here in rec.aquaria.freshwater.cichlids I would suggest that we no longer contribute. It's kind of a dead-end. I think RedForeman's initial post was appropriate, because we are a community, and it is appropriate to respond. Our posting FAQs recognize that these types of exchanges are not OT. However, my suggestion is that we no longer post to this thread and allow it to peter out.

Mark, I've tried to intercept every message and strip the aquaria groups out of them...

"Crossposting" a message like your original post is quite acceptable, but there's a different way to do it that doesn't allow the "explosion" of responses and crossposts that took place here; and that is to simply send out the message a group at a time, several times, rather than all the groups at once. (Believe me, this was a lesson hard learned!) That way, if a doofus like Kabadork responds then it is limited to the single group that he terrorizes. --Mark > Folks, I am in the process of chasing down that thread and stripping it, > luckily I'm not subscribed to more than 5 or 6 groups.... haha, trying to > find humor somewhere.... If you need a laugh, try here : http://mysite.verizon.net/res1g2wg/id5.html My game clan's comedy page. I sympathize, and understand that you could use a laugh after all this. Keith J. No need to appologise. If you are out for a family drive and you get involved in a traffic accident with an insanely dangerous driver, you don't normally appologise to all the by-standers.
