Tynk,
Take you own advice, or even better use your killfile. Since I placed her
in mine (along with Tristan and all of their sockpuppets), all I see are
others' responses to her. Every once in a while I have to adjust it to take
into account the nym-shifting but it is a small price to pay to keep from
having to weed out all the bull**** to get to the milk.

Best,
Don

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.

=============[ 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.

Best,
Don

* You've asked to provide PROOF of your accusations and have yet to provide
any. Nor any proof of any harm anything I posted here did to anyone's fish.
You left for the moderated group so why are you still here being RUDE to me?

By the time something goes wrong, they wouldn't know what
caused it or who told them what.

* Where is the proof? What deadly advice did I give someone?

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.

* I know that.

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.

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....

WHAT....god forbide, carol never screws up.......if she said the
emails bounce then they probably bounced! Least we forget who were
dealing with her, Queen Bee CArol her self who lowers her standards
just to appear on the same usenet groups with us mere mortals.

==========================
Gill... You mis-snipped. 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. At the
time I was told how "wrong" I was..... how things change over the years.

Don't think I did....but then who can tell but the tone of the post that
I took the snip from looked very much like one of yours.....so are you
telling me that you didn't respond to Don.....certainly looked like you
did.....but OK if you want to disclaim the points that you made to him
it's fine by me....

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.
