Errant opinion stated as fact by the quintessential troll who regards
the Unsenet newsgroup as a personal cyber-playpen for his unharnessed
ego where, in an unmoderated forum, he can freely excrete his insipid,
monotonous, regurgitated mantra. Irrefutably, Usenent newsgroups were
conceived for the sole purpose of exchanging ideas and information.
Unsenet newsgroups were not contrived for the *******ized purpose that
Ed Dolan asserts ... a twisted sense of fun derived at the expense of
others. Unsenet newsgroups were never intended to be Ed Dolan's
personal cyberspace soapbox. No matter how many times that Ed Dolan
repeats this gibberish, the fact remain that his asseveration it is no
more valid or true than it was with its initial misguided
utterance ... and that's fact.

Unsenet newsproups would be far more enjoyable (fun) without the
presence of obnoxious trolls like you running amuck.

I don not consider myself to be any of the above and if most of the
card carrying members of a club fell into such a category, I would
have no interest in associating with those with whom I have nothing in
common. Fortunately, only some fall into those categories ... you
being an exemplary member of the group.

How telling. "Ultimate purpose", that is according to Ed Doanl's
distorted, myopic perception and errant misconception.. As far as
"abyss" is concerned, to embark on a journey into newsgroups infested
with a maniacal parasite like Ed Dolan is to experience first hand the
abyss of lunacy.

Unfortunately, Ed Dolan discovered forums where he could can say
(write) whatever he pleaseed without fear of a moderator reprisal/
censure. The rest is history.

Ed Dolan, however you view Him, is Great. The rest of you by comparison are
dwarfs and midgets, hardly worth taking any notice of.

Usenet must perish from this earth. It is simply too, too stupid to survive.
Or would you rather get messages daily from the likes of Harry of Nebraska
advising us how much fun he is having riding his clunker trike on the roads
and trails around Lincoln? I don't know which is worse, getting the latest
from old Harry or having to put up with Tom Sherman's trivial esoteric
gibberish.

There is no one in this world who is more in favor of a moderator than Ed
Dolan. It would mean the elimination of 99% of all Usenet posters. By the
way, I would know how to post to an intelligent group, something I have
never yet seen on Usenet.

.... and, without question Ed Dolan would be numero uno when the
walking papers were handed out. I wonder if Ed Dolan would then be in
favor of moderate forums. I know. I know. Ed Dolan mistakenly
believes that he would be in the 1 percentile group. I wonder if he
contemplated just what a curse that would be with such a limited
target audience to subject his vacuous gibberish to.
