The original rules on the reborn sci.space.tech stated that postings were limited to cross-posting to two other newsgroups, and if that was done it must be of direct relevance to space technology. This met neither of those criteria. Sorry guys, that ain't going nowhere at all. You are going bye-bye. Pat |

You need to use the super special sci.star.trekkie password simultaneously with the super secret sci.star.trek handsign. The guys over at alt.galaxy.quest can help you out with that. Pat |

dakotatelephone... Let me get this straight... this was posted to _five_ different newsgroups, and has nothing to do with space technology whatsoever... but sails right on through on sci.space.tech. As I've pointed out to Pat privately, if this did in effect occur, it was not by any means intentional. We are looking into what happened. It looks like it may have been either a glitch in the robo-moderation portion or it may be a function of Pat's NNTP server. Pat -- Greg Moore Ask me about lily, an RPI based CMC. |

Let me get this straight... this was posted to _five_ different newsgroups, and has nothing to do with space technology whatsoever... but sails right on through on sci.space.tech. An "I'm back" post is on topic to any regular of an ng. Just as a "I'm leaving for awhile" post is on topic. too. It is poor form to post to more than 4 ng's a time, and to cross post to moderated ng's, but having taken a look at the traffic at that moderated ng, looks like they could use all the posters they can get. My Chang-Diaz VASIMR posting earns me a warning about sending a link with no commentary on it. Well I never post a link without some commentary, or better yet an appropriate quote so the reader can decide whether to click or not. It's only common courtesy. ..which _does_ directly involve the _two_ newsgroups it was posted to: sci.space.policy, and sci.space.tech.

This met neither of those criteria. Sorry guys, that ain't going nowhere at all. You are going bye-bye. The choice is pretty much between ng's with no rules, but lots of traffic, and ng's with too many rules and no traffic. I don't see any 'in between' out there. Maybe you need to adapt to the ng's instead of expecting everyone to adapt to..you. Jonathan s Pat |
