Discussion:
Should we create alt.louisiana and alt.mississippi?

It appears that you yourself are not from Louisiana and have no interest
in the topic beyond getting certain posters out of your precious
newsgroup...
There are already three regional hierarchies for Louisiana: batonrogue.*,
neworleans.*, and lou,*. Mississippi has ms.* . It's a bad, bad idea to
put more regional newsgroups in alt, which is an international hierarchy.
I note from your crosspost that you already knew about neworleans.*, so
wtf is your problem?
People are innocently confusing la.general with lou.general. I co-founded
the alt.society.homeless newsgroup. I like to post stuff in the right
places, not 2000 miles away from the action because of some abbreviation
error.

The common abbreviation for louisiana is 'la' not 'lou'. How is anyone
supposed to guess the existence of a newsgroup lou.general? Very few of
the neworleans.general postings are cross-posted to ms.general, so I
didn't know that group existed either. My guess on that was a miss.*
hierarchy that doesn't exist. My ISP hasn't subscribed yet to the
batonrouge.* hierarchies.

But you have answered important questions, thanks. Folks in lou.general
and ms.general should check these other newsgroups for additional
postings.

lou.general and ms.general have been added to this follow-up posting

Yeah, well... this belongs in the "If I Ruled The World" category.
First clue, ""*I* like to post stuff."

You confuse real estate with electrons.

The problem is that you're proposing something called a NIMBY group--and
those generally fail for the obvious reason once one thinks about it.
YOU can't tell OTHERS where or where not to post. It's like teaching
the Dutch to sing--a useless task and only annoys the Dutch.

Sorry, your reasoning isn't kosher. The newsgroup neworleans.general
automatically tells folk that it is not about New York, Los Angeles, or
San Francisco. Is that what you mean by NIMBY? The NAME of the group
tells OTHERS where or where not to post.

You're an idiot.

A moron of the highest order. You're so stupid it's a wonder you can
remember to breath. Intelligent ideas bounce off your head as if it
were coated with teflon. Creative thoughts take alternate
transportation in order to avoid even being in the same state as you.
If you had an original thought it would die of loneliness before the
hour was out.

On an intelligence scale of 1 to 10 (10 corresponding to the highest
attainable IQ) you're rating is so far into negative numbers that one
would need to travel into another quantum reality in order to even
catch a distant glimpse of it. Your personality is that of a rabid
Chihuahua intent on destroying its own tail. Your powers of observation
are like that of the bird who keeps slamming into the picture window
trying to get that other bird it keeps seeing. You are walking, talking
proof that you don't have to be sentient to survive, and that Barnum
was thinking of you when he uttered his immortal phrase regarding the
birth of a sucker. You are, at varying times, tedious, boring, earth
shatteringly hilarious in your idiocy, childish, moronic, pathetic,
wretched, disgusting and pitiful.

You are wholly without any redeeming social grace or value. If God ever
decides to give the planet an enema you'd better run like the wind
because anywhere you stand is a suitable place for The Insertion. There
is no animal so disgusting, so vile that it deserves comparison to you,
for even the lowest, dirtiest, most parasitic member of the animal
kingdom fills an ecological niche. You fill no niche. To call you a
parasite would be injurious to the thousands of honest parasitic
species.

You are worse than vermin, for vermin do not pretend to be what it is
not. You are truly human garbage. You are a fraudulent, lying,
predatory charlatan. You are of less worth than a burnt-out light bulb.
You will forever live in shame. You have nothing to say, and Godwin's
Law does not apply when writing about you.

You are the anti-Midas, for all that you touch becomes valueless and
unusable. Mothers gather their children close when you appear. You are
an aberration, a corruption, a boil that needs to be lanced. You are a
poison in need of being vomited. You are a tooth so rotten it infects
the whole body. You are sperm that should have been captured in a
condom and flushed down a toilet. I don't like you. I don't like
anybody who has as little respect for others as you do. Go away, you
swine.

You're a putrescent mass, a walking vomit. You are a spineless little
worm deserving nothing but the profoundest contempt. You are a jerk, a
cad, a weasel. Your life is a monument to stupidity. You are a stench,
a revulsion, a big suck on a sour lemon. You are a curdled staggering
mutant dwarf smeared richly with the effluvia and offal accompanying
your alleged birth into this world. Meaningful to no one, abandoned by
the puke-drooling, giggling beasts who sired you and then killed
themselves in recognition of what they had done.

I will never get over the embarrassment of belonging to the same
species as you. You are a monster, an ogre, a malformity. I barf at the
very thought of you. You have all the appeal of a paper cut. Lepers
avoid you. You are vile, worthless, less than nothing. You are a weed,
a fungus, the dregs of this earth. And did I mention you smell? Monkeys
look down on you. Even sheep won't have sex with you. You are
unreservedly pathetic, starved for attention, and lost in a land that
reality forgot. You are a waste of flesh. You have no rhythm. You are
ridiculous and obnoxious. You are the moral equivalent of a leech. You
are a living emptiness, a meaningless void. You are sour and senile.
You are a disease. You puerile one-handed slack-jawed drooling
meatslapper.

On a good day you're a halfwit. You are deficient in all that lends
character. You have the personality of wallpaper. You are dank and
filthy. You are asinine and benighted. You are the source of all
unpleasantness. You spread misery and sorrow wherever you go.

You are a fiend and a coward, and you have bad breath. You are
degenerate, noxious and depraved. I feel debased just for knowing you
exist. I despise everything about you, and I wish you would go away. I
cannot believe how incredibly stupid you are.

The only thing worse than your logic is your manners. Maybe later in
life, after you have learned to read, write, study, spell, and count,
you will have more success. True, these are rudimentary skills that
many of us "normal" people take for granted that everyone has an easy
time of mastering. It just wouldn't have been "right". Sort of like
parking in a handicap space. I wish you the best of luck in the
emotional, and social struggles that seem to be placing such a demand
on you.

P.S.:
You are hypocritical, greedy, violent, malevolent, vengeful, cowardly,
deadly, mendacious, meretricious, loathsome, despicable, belligerent,
opportunistic, barratrous, contemptible, criminal, fascistic, bigoted,
racist, sexist, avaricious, tasteless, idiotic, brain-damaged,

narrow, manipulative, paternalistic, fundamentalist, dogmatic,
idolatrous, unethical, cultic, diseased, suppressive, controlling,
restrictive, malignant, deceptive, dim, crazy, weird, dystopic,

Sorry, your reasoning isn't kosher. The newsgroup neworleans.general
automatically tells folk that it is not about New York, Los Angeles, or
San Francisco. Is that what you mean by NIMBY? The NAME of the group
tells OTHERS where or where not to post.
A new alt group works only if there is a proponent who will actively
take charge of propagating the group. An alt group is not added to
almost all servers without a request from a customer. He must see
that the group is requested on the servers he uses. The proponent
must find and recruit others who will want to post to the group on
their servers. He must post frequently to the new group with
interesting material that will attract and keep new users. A NIMBY
group has no one in charge and quickly fails for lack of propagation
and interest.

Anyone can send a control for an alt group which registers the name
with ISC. Having a group name registered at ISC does not mean that
the group will be added automatically to any servers.

The only problem with this view is that it assumes that nobody will take
an interest in a new group and that sysops will not put it on their
servers. I agree in the case of an 'alt.missisippi' newsgroup that
shouldn't be created. I disagree in the case for an 'alt.louisiana'
newsgroup, which should be created. Louisiana is a 'hot topic' because of
the hurricane, and a defacto 'alt.louisiana' already exists in terms of
its displaced population. It shouldn't take much to get louisiana posts
to defect from la.general, or for sysops to play ball.
