The said:Ok Frank. I was being a little tongue-in-cheek with the "quit behaving like
a German" remark. But really, as I said before, with the number of posts in
this NG down to maybe one a day (or sometimes NONE), is it really such a big
deal that a software-related post is made? I mean, what gives? Sure,
Yousuf probably would get better replies in a s/w group, but I really think
this issue is "much ado about nothing." So for the last time, will you
**please** lighten up a bit?
There are no more relevant newsgroups than the soundcard and chips
newsgroups. The Chips newsgroup being the one that's traditionally been
the home of debugging all kinds of PC systems problems, not just
hardware. Regardless, it was also relevant to hardware groups because it
was a sound card problem. What possible software newsgroups are relevant
to sound card problems? Besides adding too many newsgroups gets you
accused of over-crossposting.
Besides, Usenet is dying. There's hardly any postings about anything
anymore. And then you have people playing Netcop complaining about
cross-posting, bottom-quoting/top-posting, complaining about not doing
their own Google searches, etc. Some of it may be justified, but really
it all has the air of "fiddling inside a flammable Rome" quality to it.
More than half of this thread was about complaining about newsgroup
selections, very little about the actual technical problem asked. It's
not the only thread I've seen this problem in.
