Post for Angelo D

I can't figure out why someone posts something that they feel is in reason, and you get flamed for it. And it seems to happen mostly in this group. I recently posted that I was surprised to have taken care of recalls on my PT and a few months later, I'm notified that the car is recalled. For what? For what I just had done. My complaint was that there seems to be no communication between the dealers and the company. Wow! Did I hear about it from the group. I think you had/have a legitimate bictch. You spent this side of $50K on a car with a lot of bells and whistles, it's constantly in the shop, and you're supposed to drive basic transportation while making payments on the top of the line model. You know, drinking "bin" drinks and paying top shelf prices. If you leased a high end vehicle from a major rental agency for, say, a months lease, and something went wrong with it, you better believe they'd give you an equivalent make/model to drive or if they couldn't do this, they'd adjust your payment. Many, many years ago I was told, "You're handled with kid's glove while you're buying a car. Once you buy it, they don't want to see you again until you're ready to buy another new car." It's true, oh yeah, it's still true.

You must be new. Welcome to Usenet. If you post something that's stupid, willfully ignorant, thoughtless, halfassed or otherwise substandard in an unmoderated group, you will get flamed -- very likely multiply flamed. That is the way it is. If you do not like it, seek your internet socialisation elsewhere.

Usenet regulars are kind of the biker gangs of the information superhighway. We make a lot of noise, we crack wise and make jokes at each other's expense, we pounce and claw at the slightest provocation, and those who don't know us are probably usually offended or scared by us...

...but if you're broken down alongside the road, after we're done making fun of your ride, your clothes, your license plate and your mother, we'll probably help you fix it.

Out of the -- gosh, it must be what, four total groups you've got experience with, then?

You got flamed because it was a stupid and pointless complaint.

I guess if the subject line of my post was: Post for an Asshole, you still would have been the first one to reply.

Don't lump all Usenet regulars into the category of 'biker gangs'. Personally, I resent that implication as I am nothing like a biker (thank goodness). There are many, many groups on Usenet which are made up of well-spoken, knowledgeable contributors who don't use foul language, flames or vicious attitudes.

It is obvious to me that the owner of the $42,000 trouble-maker has more class than some of the people who responded to his post, but I don't think those people are 'biker class'......just carried away a bit with the idiotic macho insensitive image being a car buff seems to demand.

Yes, I would appreciate the help of the people on this group, but also unprejudiced opinions as well. At least this wouldn't demonstrate a narrow-mindedness which would obviously color their opinions.

By the way, when did you get coronated, King Stern?

See, that's the nice thing about Usenet. If you don't like what a particular poster has to say, you don't have to read his posts.

Jolly good. You use what's "obvious" to you to guide your Usenet reading habits, and everybody'll be happy.

The people on this group who tend to be helpful also -- with a couple exceptions -- tend to have short patience for halfassed or stupid questions.

There is no such thing as an unprejudiced opinion.

Late December back in '63.
