I try to see something positive in everything, and it is good that the
stupid and intentionally badly behaving people show that in the first
page, full of old quotations, many levels deep, then I know that there
is no need to scroll down, I just click the kill file button.
I have wondered if anybody is trying to find the most intelligent
people in usenet.
It would be fairly simple to write a little program which rates authors
in usenet, based on the formatting and the content of their posts, the
number of posts per day, the degree of original content, the language
used, and other criteria.
Google could easily grade authors based on their posting history.
And I would get an incredibly high rating in such a system :-)
Nobody has posted so many well formatted messages, with so much
original content, over such a long time, in so important and serious
areas of human thought.
