Thank you for your thoughtful comments. Regarding my own identity in
contrast to any other poster, I am completely willing to allow those
who claim superior knowledge of usenet conventions to make fools of
themselves. Their opinions don't particularly weigh much, at any
rate.
I must take exception to your comments regarding the use of this group
for its present purposes. Tedn'Alice chose this group for that very
reason ... it was a troll group, named for a particularly obnoxious
troll, Naughty Boy aka El Trauco. Insomuch as it was, with the
exception of the typical spam regarding the enlargement of certain
male members, completely deserted, he decided that turn-about was fair
play. Indeed he very much intended to infuriate the trolls. So he
"rennovated it," never dreaming it would become a going affair. The
fact that it has become so is a direct result of neglect by these now
suddenly possessive trolls. You can imagine Ted's initial
disappointment!
Hence, their present agitation and consternation is a source of great
satisfaction. Discovering that the groups was apparently founded by
Frogbutt eight years ago is simply cream in our tea!
Stupid? Why? What are they capable of doing, pray tell? There has
been nothing posted here that could be seen as a violation of law or,
for that matter, even good taste, with the exception of the trolls
themselves. They rattle about like dottering old men, muttering things
about "Bubba" and "Breaking Doors at Dawn" etc. All very boring. But
if you, or any contributor, decide posting here makes you
uncomfortable, I personally would understand and encourage you to post
elsewhere. Many threats have been made ... and none come to
fruition. They continue to labour under their misconceptions and
delusions because, in reality, it is their "ownly" discourse.
But, all in all, this is not the first "off topic" group to have been
taken by another interest. Usenet is anarchy ... beautiful and clean.
One may claim to "own" a group, just as one might grab a handful of
cloud, or capture sunbeams in a shoebox. For whatever his
motivations, Ted found this group completely deserted and subsequently
started the Galleries. It has been an ongoing establishment for over
10 months. I applaud him.
Lastly, if the trolls decide to assault these parapets, they will find
them unexpectedly resilient. I for one would certainly enjoy the idea
of taking up so much of their time and upload quota, particularly when
an effective offensive could easily be mounted in other "troll"
gathering bogs.
Alright then. My very best to you.
