Then the endless cookie cutter posts about non topicallity and top
posting.

When the cookie-cutter top-posting message comes from me, as many do, I
try to put "- TPA" in the subject line. Those with real newsreaders
can filter that.

Do you understand that bashing posters', specially the ones are first
posting here, newsreader choices as your phrase above "Those with real
newsreaders" is at least unfriendly and downright offensive?

1) In regards to the obnoxiousness aspect of it, get used to it. It
won't get any better. The "regs" post here to get their psychic jollies
from beating up on the defenseless. (At least I hope they do; as I
posted elsewhere, if they're *not* getting off on it, then they really
*are* complete time wastes)
2) The theory behind Default Loser's position is that the people without
"real newsreaders" are those to whom the TPA posts are directed.
I.e., those with "real newsreaders" are the ones who are entiteld to
opt out of reading them.

Whether you agree or not with DL's position is, of course, up to you to
decide.

Ah, I see. You are the type that is determined to be offended.


I won't bother with you anymore.

Why? It seems factual. I gather your recommendation is to leave
the newbies in ignorance forever, and abandon the newsgroup to
them. This attitude leads to feral cats and children.

A lot of posters are being flamed by being factual as well. So this is
non sequitur.

You can take newbies from ignorance, but I'm afraid the specific issue
about the newsreader option of the posters does not count as one of
'enlightenment' versus 'ignorance'.

Suggesting and giving example are better options.

About your last sentence: who says it did not happen already?!

Just for your reference, Kenny is a resident troll. Best not to chat
