First, it is my lat posting to news.* for a while. You people can whine all you want, I got my group and I intend to work very hard to make it a much of a success as alt.aquria was. Let me know if you people decide the net is about to die or something. Second, this is a flame. If you don't want to read it, this would be a good time to bail out.

All together now: > >"They didn't vote for "sci.aquaria", they voted for ".aquaria"" Wong, you pinheaded twit. You don't know. You can't prove it, you stated you OPINION once, it was ignored. Repetative attempts to restate your opinion in hopes it will osmose into a fact will be in vain. This is a fact, Peter, not an opinion. Here is another fact, Peter: you are wrong about the above statement. >Not to mention the fact that the people who care about the namespace >are by and large the people who are making the system work... Bwah ha ha ha. You unctuous windbag. Why don't you pompously storm out of here, anf you can set up your own net. The much vaulte "duh" hierarchy. Then you and Jeff can make run on jokes in duh.news.groups.according.to.peter all day long. You can declare what happend, who says what, what goes where. Think of it Peter. Isn't this what you want ? Doesn't this just sound fucking smashing ? >Let's dump this whole thing. Oh sure. Vote passes, groups is created, people post to it, but Peter doesnt like it, so lets rmgroup it so Peter can pick the name he likes. Makes sense to me. Take it to duh.news.admin, Peter. > I will hold a vote, using the approval system, >for an aquarium group. Sure, why not use unproven methods. Since your blatently violating every other rule, why not break one more. Better post your results to duh.rec.statistics though, so you have the obligitory 7 different interpretations of one set of data. > During this vote, I will unsubscribe from news. >groups. ``Peter with your brains so light, won't you leave this net tonight.'' >Let's find out what the *real* will of the people is, with no >politicking and partisan bullshit. Oh I see. Of course you don't mean ``lets get the answer *I* want, no, no, you want to get the REAL WILL OF THE PEOPLE, because god knows ONLY PETER DUH SILVA can do thet. He is after all, so objective about these things. And you'll consider this binding, will you ? If the will of the people is for you to kill yourself in a particularly messy and painful fashion, you will do it ? Take it to duh.suicide, Peter. >Of course Richard might choose to disrupt *this* poll, in which case I >think we can assume that he doesn't care about the will of the people >and we can discard both his poll and mine... and end up with rec.aquarium. .aquaria Will of the poeple, remember. Oops. Sorry. I forgot, thats not what you want, is it. Richard can be found in alt.flame, talk.bizarre, or one of the other technical groups. -- This article was made from the finest quality words and sentances.
