Very strange answer to my _pond_ question

[wruess]

Don't visit a whole lot of newsgroups, but feel like I just regressed to
like the 5th grade or something. I posted a question about availability of
a pond product and the thread degenerated into a ****ing contest between /
among totally inane, immature people. Does this happen to most newsgroups
these days, or something peculiar to the rec.ponds group? Donno but in any
case I must unsubcribe and get my info elsewhere - can't believe _anyone_
puts up with this. Actually, can't believe that anyone has so little to do
with their time that they spend time posting garbage on newsgroups.
.....wondering if there is a rec.ponds group for adults only - something
moderated so you can just eliminate the trash. Oh well, back to my pond -
take care everyone.

I've always thought that ponders were peculiar, and why I so easily became
one. ;o)

Some of us have been here a really, really long time and are trying to
stick with it, but I think with winter coming this is going to be one very
quiet place.... ~ jan

# It happens to any NG that wecomes and feeds trolls, imposters,
sock-puppets, net-stalkers and other such posters. I've been here on and
off for 9 years and never saw it degenerate to this level. But I'm not
leaving. :-)

# There's little choice. Herr Pondmeister started a moderated NG you may
find appealing. I expect many posters will be going there soon if this
continues.

All the newsgroups I've subscribed to have been attacked by idiots. If we,
the subscribers who actually are ponders, never, ever respond to their
drivel they will eventually go somewhere else.

Exactly, now can we get back to something vaguely pond related, please?
