Posting this Newsgropup's Charter

ok, so if someone abuses this charter, where can complaints be sent to? Nick

Discussion of the charter isn't listed in the approved discussions list. Maybe you should mark it as off-topic. ;-)

Sorry, couldn't resist being a smart ass.

Actually I think it was needed. I just went to google and 8 of the most recent 25 active threads had to deal with Lloyd! Thankfully I have killfiled most people or related threads so it hasn't been a big deal for me.

You need to set your news reader to view all the header. In the header it normally has the address for the abuse department of the person who wrote the message.

You then need to include the complete message including all the headers when you complain.

The reference to the Charter can't hurt either so the abuse department knows the Charter is legit.

Hi Nick, You want to send your complaint to: Abuse at their Internet Service Provider. You'll be able to send a copy by simple clicking of Forward, but the ISP also needs the abuser's header information, to get that click on the File at the top left Conner, then Properties, Detailed Tab, right click, Select All, right click Copy. Then back to the forward message you're working on and right click Paste. Then try and pick out their real ISP. If you look at my Header from this message and you'll see to send to: snipped-for-privacy@cox.net, trolls usually hack this and their return address, so you'll have to follow through the addresses, looking for a point it was initially sent from. If in doubt send to all of them. With any luck you'll have a collection of closed accounts, and reputation for being an a**hole. :-) God Bless America, ßill O|||||||O Mailto: snipped-for-privacy@aol.com

I'm all into being an ass. I've worked hard at it today if you've seen my other messages. Nick

you'll

i think it should read 'you can lead a horse to water but you have to hold its head under water just long enough to solve the problem.' whatever that problem might be...

I was thinking more along the lines of "You can lead a horse's ass to water, but you can't make him think."
