Web-interface for newsgroups (aka CDO) is down

Thanks PA Bear, But I still do not believe in massive crossposting and your
copy of my post makes this look like I do, which is incorrect.
Massive Crossposting disabled again.

[Excessive crossposting re-enabled]

Heck, without CDO crowding everything else out, nothing seems excessive.

Opps I did not even see the excessive crossposting, usually I cut it down
to one or two. Sorry about that

<full cross-posting resumed.>

However, when participating in a conversation which already spans several groups and is engaging persons from those groups (as opposed to a narrow topic which one might appropriately assume doesn't hold the slightest interest for those additional groups), it is proper to include all cross-posted groups in any replies.

Otherwise, replies to your posts make no sense. You may have noticed, in earlier cross-posted discussions, the difficulties this leads to when information that is pertinent to the discussion at hand is no longer seen by all participants.

Whether you believe in massive cross-posting or not is your business. But if you choose to participate in a massively cross-posted conversation, then it is only proper that you continue the cross-posting. Otherwise, the effect is not unlike "taking it private"--continuing a conversation via email, rather than in the NG itself. There are times when taking it private or reducing cross-posting to minimum are appropriate actions, but I wouldn't consider this conversation one of them.

In any case, four groups is hardly "massive cross-posting", and your accusation that Robear's including your content in his reply will somehow mis-represent you or your beliefs is ludicrous, Tedd. Your posts don't appear in the other groups you struck from the list--only his. Additionally, *not* including your content in his reply would make his own post meaningless in those groups where yours don't appear.

Shields Up! Red Alert!!

You've been watching too much science fiction. Try, "Condition Red, Weapons
Free".

You don't need the CDO interface to post as "anonymous"!

Hmmm, I wasn't expecting rain.

 

[PA Bear]

OMG, they're baaaack!

 

[N. Miller]

Hmmm, I wasn't expecting rain.

Rain wasn't a consideration. As I recall, conditions were 'Red', 'Yellow',
and 'White'. Under attack, imminent threat of attack, little chance of
attack.

Weapons where 'Free', 'Tight', or 'Hold'. These referred to antiaircraft
fire; 'Free' - "Fire on the aircraft unless you can positively identify it
as friendly"; 'Tight' - "Don't fire on the aircraft unless you can
positively identify it as hostile"; 'Hold' - "Don't fire".

Rain = Incoming.

As I recall, conditions were 'Red', 'Yellow',
and 'White'. Under attack, imminent threat of attack, little chance of
attack.

I know what they mean.

 

[Tedd Riggs]

"Rain = Incoming." I cannot get around that one, I live in Seattle.
Red Alert, kinda old. Need to get up to speed with Sci-Fi and make sure that
the SG-1 Team has the Iris closed on the Stargate
