Just abut everyone here should take a deep breath and assess how they
have been posting. Most people here have either snipped at someone of
have been snipped by someone. Civility is draining away.

An infusion of new people would help, but just look at what happened
when a new guy did show up, though he was a little part of it too.

The different personalities is what make a group like this interesting
but when the insults and derogatory comments start, it just goes into
the dumper. My guess is that in person, this would be a great group of
people but on the keyboard, civility comes in second toan off hand dig.

=================

Ed, this is exactly what poisoned and killed off the UK group

I can see it happening here and that would be a big shame because there are
some lovely people and I would miss them (

They mostly went off to Facebook where nastiness isn't tolerated. A little
kindness goes a long way but it seems to be at a premium here Complain
about bad treatment and YOU are to blame.

I am often invited to join the group and I must admit I am becoming tempted.
This becomes very tiring

On the other hand, if nastyness could kill this group, it would have

I've been here for a few years and it's always been like this, so you
must be referring to longer ago?

It has always been here but there was a lot more on-topic good material
along with it. Probably two dozen good posting people have gone away
and very few new people. A few years back, many ISPs stopped carrying
newsgroups and the decline started. There are a lot of people with
internet access that never heard of newsgroups or Google groups.

Anyone here with less than 5 or 10 years exposure to the groups? Doubt
it. Newbies tend to go to Facebook and the like.

Yes, it happened in the UK group! It used to be really good until the
poison moved in.

I have never fancied Facebook much but it become more attractive ...

As time goes on, it will happen with more and more people. Then watch out!

Another good group down the tubes.

my account several years ago, I've never been successful in actually
deleting my account. I wish I had never heard of Facebook!

Oh that is a shame My granddaughter set it up for me and the only things
I see are family and friends.

I don't know how she did it but I never get any problems from anywhere.

Happily I did not join but as I understand it from a good IT guy, you
can draw a veil over your FB but never quite really delete it out
What I hated was the initial thing about 'liking', they really needed
a not liking button

There were too many people back then parroting 'If you haven't done
anything bad..." so there went all sorts of privacy.

It's not that hard to delete an FB account or to make sure you don't
get any emails from them. If you can configure a news reader, you can
do that too.

I don't think you can "like" entire people. Maybe you mean to say you
got friend requests from people.

It allows you to think you have successfully deleted it.

But how do you know you haven't successfully deleted it? I had an
account once, got fed up, deleted it (don't touch it for 2 weeks or
you reactivate it) and I never heard from them again. Until I started
a new account.

I used to help folks with how to rescreen or screen a wooden porch. I
left Newsgroups for about 2 years and when I came back, it was all
trash.

Hi Terry,

Lets see if we can narrow in a little on what you are looking for in
Fiber diets? Don't worry if these 2 don't match, I'm just narrowing the
field.

Here's 2 bread recipes. I centered on Oats. The first one may be a
little on the dry side and need 2 TB more liquid, especially if using
fresh apples.

This set was in my eye as my apple trees are in full fruit now. I had
so many, a friend came and picked 5 plastic grocery bags (partly full
so they wouldn't bruise) this morning.


MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.05

Title: APPLE OAT BREAD
Categories: Whole wheat, None, Oat, Breadmaker
Yield: 1 Servings

1/2 c Water
1 1/3 c Bread Flour
2/3 c Whole-Wheat Flour
2 ts Nonfat Dried Milk
1 ts Salt
2 ts Applesauce

Yes, the primary thing with FB is they have frequently 'improved your
experience' by undoing your security settings.

They came in with a court order in the USA some 8 or more years ago
requirng they actually DELETE accounts fully on member request. They
didnt make it easy, but you can do it now.

I was never interested in it but have discussed it with a couple of IT
guys who know way more than I. You could definitely retrieve it if
you wished, think of all the discussion there was over people who died
and the page went on even though it upset the nearest and dearest.

That you know of. I was recently alerted to the fact that someone is
"liking" stuff for us. Sure enough, I had liked many TV shows, businesses
and products. Some, I had never heard of and never patronized or never
would. You should check your account.

That you know of. I was recently alerted to the fact that someone is
"liking" stuff for us. Sure enough, I had liked many TV shows, businesses
and products. Some, I had never heard of and never patronized or never
would. You should check your account.

===

I am reading family and friends. I don't know what anyone else would be
interested in. But I think if I had 'problems' I would know it!

Years ago, I joined fb on the request of a friend on the group and got the
kind of problems you describe but I simply stopped and the mails eventually
stopped too.

I didn't know how to close an account though.

I can't remember exactly, but I googled it and followed the
instructions. I do remember that it said I couldn't access my FB page
for 2 weeks after deleting it or it would be reactivated. After 2
weeks of no access it would be gone.

I had it too once that someone or something was "liking" crazy stuff
on my behalf. It was kind of funny. After I changed my FB password, it
stopped.

I can't remember exactly, but I googled it and followed the
instructions. I do remember that it said I couldn't access my FB page
for 2 weeks after deleting it or it would be reactivated. After 2
weeks of no access it would be gone.

Even if that was true, it wouldn't keep me awake at night.

I certainly didn't know. I am not one to go around "liking" all sorts of
things. I only looked when a friend pointed out that his wife suddenly liked
all these things that he knew she wouldn't. He thought it was Zuckerberg or
someone else with Facebook using us as a form of free advertisement. I had
nothing better to do so checked my account. Sure enough, someone went in
there and "liked" a ton of things, perhaps partly based on my age, such as
TV shows that were around when I was a kid. And perhaps partly based on
other things that I actually did like. Such as Tillamook cheese. The person
who did this must have assumed I was a big dairy liker or something. All of
a sudden I liked things like Yoplait and other yogurts, ice cream companies
and even other places that make cheese. Just not cool.

I would normally not even have a reason to check to see what I liked. Which
is how they are getting away with it. And it was not just me. After I
pointed this out, many others noticed the same thing.

Very true, Ed. All that I talk to here locally has never even heard of
usenet. I always have to explain it. Most use Facebook or Google Groups.

If Dsi1 thinks that Google Groups is the future trend, it's a sad future
imo. :-(
