Hi to the group!
I may be missing something too... for the last week Tramp hasn't been
nameshifting like he did before, he has been posting long lists of
freeware, or freeware containing sites, with an occassional OT inbetween.
Which are all "non-troll" and absolutely ON-topic... Yet you folks still
wanna condemn him/her??
Along the same line I could start a topic now how to automatically kill
this thread... what on Earth has this whole thread to do with Freeware,
folks??? But I won't, in the last months I have had my fair share of
flame alike, long off-topic threads here... and they weren't Tramp's (nor
any of his many nyms at the time!!!)
As far as I am concerned there should be a little bit more "Tramp" in
this newsgroup, and a great bit less discussions like this one,
controlling, and other off-topic - often troll alike - hehavior here. Is
this news group alt.comp.freeware; or is this
alt.comp.freeware.discussion???
Leave him/her alone, ignore his/her posts if you don't like 'em, just
like I read, and choose to ignore, a lot of the postings here... it would
make the newsgroup a lot more "readable".
Since this is an unmoderated newsgroup, this is only a request, and
nothing more!
