Don't know any, T1. Thought that you might be more enlightened than
myself. That's why I was asking. ...

Perhaps someone should post the request-for-information in
alt.usenet.kooks.
They ought to be more familiar with the material which is available ?

Lucky you!

Will you never be satisfied?

Being sincere, now ...
I am becoming somewhat piqued that events between myself and AUK are
proceeding in a manner which is disquietingly similar and familiar to
other significant events in my life.

AUK is wary of me for good reason. They sense what may be coming ...

It seems that many of the regular posters in alt.astronomy are
struggling with something or other in their own lives: personal
tragedy, poverty, loneliness, etc. So any of us could, if hit hard
enough on a day when we're already down, be "pushed over the edge"!
That's why I wish that AUK would just stay out of here and mind their
own damned business!

THAT is exactly the reason which I mentioned the Formosa rule in the
first place in the begining of July. Apparently, Art thought that I
wished it applied specifically to myself. I thought that I was just
being cold shouldered. Most effective, btw!

Only after Art dropped the 'hint' did I go looking for the thread and
put together what had happened. I was so impressed by the way that
'auk' handled it combined by the steadfastness that they held to their
decision that I am left with no alternative but to accept it and
respect it for what it is.


Shows they can be rational when they want to be.


Double-A, you are discovering for yourself what I already realize about
the Formosa Rule and the consequences that surround it. I feel quite
bound out of respect concerning what happened to say no more one way or
another. To do otherwise would be wrong for me. It ceased to be my
prerogative. ... assuming that it ever was so.

Well, the worst they can do is reconsider the matter.

It has been their long term goal to pick us off one by one. First they
gave Twittering an award, then you. They tried to nominate me. They
did nominate alt.astronomy as a group. They nominated Paine last
month, and nominated nightbat this month. Now they have expanded that
nomination to the whole group because I echoed your idea of adding
"support" to the group name, but they don't want to mention you in
their reasoning. They would like to get Bert, but can't get him to
crosspost, which is their way of presenting candidates to their group.

We should stick together and vote in their elections. As far as I know
I'm the only one from alt.astronomy doing that. As I recall there were
only about 30 voters last month. Our votes could have an impact.
Someone running unopposed has to get 2/3 yes votes to win. Don't worry
about if you are qualified to vote under their rules, just cast your
ballet and let PJR do his job and decide which votes to count. He
seems to be fair minded as far I've observed him.

Let's stick up for each other and not let them walk all over us!
