Dear Roedy (and all the other misbehaving in this group),
First : english is not my native language, please
argue on the content of my post, not on the english
mistake I make.
My point is very simple : Roedy is *not* respecting
the netiquette.
And I'll demonstrate it here. And hope that he will
act accordingly.
I use the newsgroups a lot : but I never ever post
a single message. I post this one, exceptionally,
because I'm really pissed off by your behavior here.
You don't respect the netiquette at all, and still
give "advice" to people you find misbehave.
I use groups.google.com to find technical answers to
my problems.
About every single message posted in this newsgroup
has some response saying "please, see ... mindprod.com".
So, first thing : I find this site completely ugly and
totally overbloated. But this is personal. I'm sure
many people like it. Just like many people like
Bruce Eeckel's "Thinking in Java"... Well, I don't.
I find it "too much". Not bad, simply "too verbose".
I find the same about your site (moreover, already
told, I find it ugly).
But that's not the problem.
Already now many of the message you posted contain
links to your site that aren't working anymore
(because, for sure, you "reorganised" your mess in
something less messy : or more ?).
May I ask what happens when you decide to stop
paying for your mindprod.com domain name ?
Well, what happens is simple : countless people
looking for infos find useless post saying
"see mindprod.com/xxx/yyy/zzz" and the links
are of course not working.
But, you'll argue that you'll pay forever
for you site right !? (and, btw, also not
reorganize another time all the links) !?
Ok : you have a car crash tomorrow or
whatever... What happens ?
Exactly what I describe : countless results
(15.000 result for "see mindprob"
in comp.lang.java.programmer so far)
linking to a non-existent site anymore.
Now, of course, I cannot say that you can't
post your "see mindprob 'spam' " (yeah, I know,
I don't know what spam is and I should really
go see "mindprob.com/spam/whatever). That's
why I wrote 'spam' between " ' ". It's not
really spam, it's "roedy's special trick".
Your posts in this group totally annoys me
and I think you have a *huge* ego problem for
spending your life posting "see mindprod". But
I recognize that many may find it useful
(though not when accessing your posts
from groups.google.com or another archiving
service).
You can post your "see mindprod stuff".
But please, respect the netiquette will you ?
Configure your newsreader (your such a good
programmer you should be able to do it) so
that your message get the appropriate NNTP
header so that they are *not* ever archived
anymore by groups.google.com and the other
Usenet archiving services.
For such the "lesson giver" you are, I am
sure you will agree with this one.
You may argue however you want, but I you
die tomorrow, all your f*scking 15.000 messages
archived in comp.lang.java.programmer becomes
completely useless (not counting all the messages
that are already useless due to broken links).
When I look for infos in groups.google.com, I
have to add a "-mindprod" to discard your non
working junk links ffs !
So, Roedy, thanks for respecting the Netiquette,
John
P.S : the fact that you disagree with my bad
language (but it's your attitude that inspirates
those words, sorry, can't resist), the fact
that you disagree with my feeling towards your
ugly overbloated site, etc. is *not* the point.
The point is you are *not* respecting the
Netiquette. Thanks for adding the appropriate
NNTP headers in your future posts.
