Barbara, may I quote that passage on the page shown in my sig, as
an "other voices" insert, the way I have done with Ohmster's and
Ben's comments (also with permission)? I'd elide the references
to the URL you mantion and the paragraph that specifically
addresses Mr Perplexed by name, to keep it more general. Thus,
I'd use:
<q>
I just don't understand you google.group guys. Had you shown any
interest in this group or in usenet newsgroups in general, you
would have noticed how participants post and reply.... For me
this is the end for google.groups now. Quite honestly, I've had it
with you lot. Because of the hit and run nature of your
participating in newsgroups, you just miss what's relevant
for communications. I dislike that behaviour more and more now.
So, for my good, any post containing the header groups.google.com
is from now on kill filed.
</q>
With your permission, I would put it up, and give you credit as I
did the others (unless you'd rather it be attributed to "another
Usenet participant".
Thanks for your consideration. I like it because it concisely
addresses G2 poster issues and - unlike the others - addresses
them *for* a G2 poster.
