(Eating the elephant outside the box, one paradigm at a time) Don, I wish I could reply to her via email. Trust me, I've tried. It doesn't go through. The only reason I even bother is because of all the newbies out there who may take the false or incomplete info she gives out and think it's correct. By the time something goes wrong, they wouldn't know what caused it or who told them what. Newbies are bombarded with all sorts of things they are told...whether wrong or right, they are hit like a ton of bricks and their heads are left spinning. You see, when somebody says something that isn't right, and a bunch of others correct them, then they can assume who's got the right info for them. It's like having too much compassion for the newbies in the hobby. |

It's like having too much compassion for the newbies in the hobby. =============[ end quote ]=================================== I understand and appreciate why you are doing it, but there comes a point of diminishing returns if it just sounds like the two of you are arguing (and admittedly I'm no innocent, I've been involved in flame wars that could melt diamonds). Anyone just stumbling upon the group at that time wouldn't know which one was the credible party. If you don't want to ignore her bad advice, countering it with the truth (as you do) is fine. But you will do your frustration level a big favor by ignoring her rants. I pretty much had her pegged after reading no more then 4 of her posts, so I think you will find that new readers of the group might not have as much trouble as you think doing the same. One of the main caveats of USENET has always been to read a group for a while before posting so as to figure out the mores and morays (pun intended) of the group, and, by extrapolation, figure out who are the signal producers and who are just the ******s that produce noise.

Ok not going to bother replying to the rest but believe me it is very easy to get in touch with Tynk via the valid email address she uses here (afterall she has no need to hide from anything - like a few others of us don't either).....I suggest you open one of her messages and then cut and paste the "from" info.....write your email and hit send.....if it is abusive then maybe she will do what most sane people do and ignore it....if not, then as she invited you to mail her I'm reasonably sure that she will respond.....However, one word of warning - Tynk actually has a real life that doesn't revolve around Usenet every second of her waking day - so there might be a bit of a delay in getting a reply (sometimes days or weeks but that is entirely reasonable).....but then the same applies to all of us who have a real life as well....If your emails to Tynk bounce it is just because you have made a typo....

I didn't try to e-mail her. I have no reason to contact her. Roy Tristan Hauer re-posted her old message to stir the pot. I'd put that all in the past already, especially since the UGF, Frozen-Food and Vacuuming up bacteria issues where in time I was proven CORRECT.

Actually you did misattribute the quotes but, notwithstanding, your advice to Z. is still good. Bottom line she should take her personal vendetta off of the newsgroup. |
