Usenet is not a place. What it is is composed of various computer
servers that are, by and large, all private property.
Quote from Futurama, "Less Than Zero":
Mayor: ... with his pack of highly trained animals.
Fry: Pack of highly, got it!
The important word is *public*, not *place*. I assert that that was a
deliberate evasion.
But fine, define a better term of what usenet is (and by that I mean,
solve for X in "usenet is a public X")
Perhaps you should simplify things a little and skip ALL of them. Or
at least skip replying.
Nope. It's fun. And has a purpose.
That was explained elsewhere and I don't feel much like repeating all
of that in detail. GIYF, if you're really interested.
I read that, but found it unconvincing. I thought I'd give you another
stab at it.
Also, in another post you asked me what the DOING business is all about.
I had exlpained *that* in a previous post as well, so that google hint
might serve you well, too.
What if one day that moron Sherm drops his fixation with his current
wrong guess about my identity, again tries to find out who I am
offline, and that time gets it right?
What if indeed. He'll certainly kill your sorry ass. Unlike me, who
would just pretend to to kill you so see if you just play that paranoia
for your own enjoyment or if you would actually crumble to a tiny slouch
of tears, begging for your life at my mere standing on your doorstep.
BTW: So if your true identity comes out (assuming this hasn't happened
yet), people will find out who the guy was that never let people just
say whatever they want and proved them wrong by action rather than
words. You know, I can actually understand you here.
