This is silly, self congratulatory bullshit if I've ever heard it. You
think the fact that you spend all your time reading a newsgroup
that it grants some sort of status to you?

It reminds me a bit of the teenagers that hang around the mall 24
hours a day. They begin to think they own it. Makes you reflect on
how little they actually do own.

OK Kid, anything you say. The foodcourt's yours...

And what is wrong with new people posting? Assuming they follow proper
procedure and are not trolling, being obnoxious, etc., I think some new
opinions should be welcomed.

Okay who the heck made up the term "newbie"? I can understand if this were a
private newsgroup that required a password or a special invitation in order to
read or post messages but this is a PUBLIC newsgroup. Just because someone has
been posting messages here longer does not give them carte blanche over anyone
else. I have never gone into an unfamiliar newsgroup and introduce myself and
ask if I could post something. If I want to say something I'll say it.

I think the implication that their might be something "wrong" with new people
posting was made with a note of self-deprecating facetiousness, which went
undetected by several respondents.

Some of the new folks may not have detected that cleavers get thrown a lot
around here. It's important to realize that if you're called a purple-****ted
recidivist cumlapper, it's nothing personal; just a way of coloring the canvas.

Hmm...I understand Jimmy Tango, DJS0302, and Reg falling into Moosie's trap
since they're relatively new but you've been here forever, Ellen. I know he
hasn't been posting much lately, but have you forgotten his MO so quickly?

Actually I've been posting here for nearly a year and a half. I just don't
post that often. As far as being fooled is concerned, I really don't keep
track of who posts what or what type of personality a poster tends to have. If
they post something insulting I simply filter out that person's messages. Also
I was replying to the person who called the one poster "a clueless newbie" I
was basically ranting about the term "newbie" and how it really shouldn't be
used in a public newsgroup.

Don't know, don't care. It's just shorthand for 'newcomer.' It carries
a connotation, I think, of one who's not familiar with the rules of a
particular road.

Protocol seems to vary with the groups -- I read a couple where it is
very common for a newbie to the group to introduce self. Other places I
don't see a self-introduction, per se, but perhaps a remark about having
lurked for a while but not ever posted before. Not a big deal, AFAICS.

Why not? I'm a journeyman electrician. When I was an apprentice, I
was called an apprentice. A newbie is a newbie and usually it shows.
Look at the webbies and many of the AOL people.

I disagree; a newbie should be called a newbie. Nothing wrong there.

It's obvious you haven't been reading the group very long.
Presumptuousness comes to mind.

Hey, Moosie, haven't seen you in a while - you doin' o.k.?

We could argue over which one of his posts was the best. My favorite,
was about chicken. He said that one drumstick was always more tender
than the other one. I think that's how it went, but it was a long

Exactly. Chickens are right- and left-handed just like people. The
dominant side is always more muscular. So a right-handed chicken will
always have a more tender left leg. It's the ambidextrous ones that'll
throw you every time.

If you had been reading for a while, you'd know Moose's propensity to
start "traffic" by making comments calculated to raise hackles. And
then you wouldn't have taken the bait, but just sat back and watched
the fun. Do you recall his "chicken leg" introduction to the group?

Wouldn't that be right- and left-legged? Or -winged? All that
scratching takes its toll. With the ambi ones, there're two people
stuck with the muscular part. And some of us like that -- you know, the
bigger the better kind of thing.
