Your post isn't about audio, either.

It at least has the word "audio" in it.
This newsgroup has toilet-bowled into a political ****-fest, and it is
going to stop. NOW.

Neither are the e-mails you've been sending to everyone.

They don't have to be. Your email doesn't have a puiblic listing of
marc.phillips.personal.email.for.audio.chat, nor does anyone elses.
Annoyed by being called out for the errors you have made in a public fora?
Stop making them.

As for the folks that have "threatened" to contact my ISP if I mail them
again (s888wheel and vinylanach)- KNOCK YOURSELVES OUT. They have less
tolerance of mis-use of public fora than I do. Continue posting off topic
political garbage, and not only will I continue to send mails to you
demanding your improper use of the newsgroup cease, but I will also
forward emails to your ISP administration as well as senior execs at the
company. Results will happen and this newsgroup will contain the traffic
it was intended for.

If you want to talk about audio equipment, go ahead.

I would, however the s/n ratio in this newsgroup isn't high enough to make
any threads worthwhile at this point. That will change, and in short
order. Do your part and take your political garbage to alt.politics. Most
folks come to this newsgroup to get *away* from that kinda garbage. Why
bring that nonsense here, where it is completely off topic and where
people don't want to read it?

This is an audio related newsgroup. Post audio here. Political discussion
does not belong here. Do not post it. Failure to use this group for its
intended purpose and continued abuse of it WILL result in
retro-moderation, cancellation messages, emails to offenders ISP's and
senior execs of those ISP's, and blanket additions of offending domains
into the Real Time Internet Black Hole List. This isn't the first
newsgroup that has required some major cleanup that I have undertaken -
and it will not be the last. Anyone want to dance? Take a number.

Post audio.

Everything else to alt.politics or /dev/null

Big test coming up or something? Or are you frustrated that you can't
get an answer to your Abercrombie and Fitch audio question?

There, I made it audio-related.

BTW, do you even *know* what the "intended purpose" is?

I love you blustery sophmores. Come blundering into a room like a mad
elephant.

BTW, what in the heck is "retro-moderation"?

Your trolling is just as welcome as the political stuff, you know.

Newbie.

life into a webpage, thinking others would give a ****.
