Agreed! Offline is reality; online is fantasy. I know that, you don't!

You need to immerse yourself in my recent post entitled "Who is Ed Dolan
and 
what is he doing on Usenet?". Once you have understood what you read
there, 
you will be enlightened.

Usenet, regardless of its original design, has changed drastically over
the 
years. It is not now what it was intended to be. Human nature has changed
it 
into unpleasant chat rooms for contentious and argumentative commentators 
like myself. All discussion groups if they are to be taken seriously MUST 
have a moderator. There is no other way. Apparently, you are incapable of 
learning anything from the Ed Gin episode. Just for the record, what did
you 
learn from the Ed Gin episode?
