This is from another post I addressed specifically to the crabby old guy in Missouri (Oh, and yes I may be old and mexican, but I am not crabby)
Apparently it is lost of some posters what a USENET group is and how it works?
Alt.autos.corvette is not a website nor managed/governed by anyone. It only exists because the 10's of thousands or millions of NNTP servers across the globe have decided to carry the group and then make it available to their subscribers via newsreader or web access (wait...would that mean they are making money off of you?) Some keep your posts on their servers forever, some remove them after a week. Google keeps them forever.
That is it. If you do not want your post to appear on servers/sites that carry the alt.autos.corvette USENET group, then do not post anything and quit your crying.
It seems as some here are acting like JLA or other sites are copying your oh so valuable words and claiming authorship or whatever. If that were the case, I would understand the complaining a bit more. But I took a look at their (JLA) site and all of your names and words appear there just as they do on Google, my newsreader and the other sites I previously listed.
The JLA people are not doing anything any different than Google, the other sites I mentioned or the company that YOU have access to this group through. They provide access to the group for you to read and or post the material. Some make it available for free (Google/JLA and some of the others) and some charge for the access (most ISP's as part of your internet subscription, and some websites as a subscription for bandwidth and other access related fees (see GUBA or other paid USENET feeds, etc.) Either way it is all the same, just different ways of accessing it.
Now put some Bengay on your complaints and lets get back to talking about Vettes.
