alt.autos.new-mini or alt.autos.mini ?

Hi all!

Does anyone know the answer to this hypothetical problem because I am getting fed up trying to work it out!

I have a very very simple filing system,

It consists of two boxes: one labelled alt.autos.mini one labelled alt.autos.new-mini

Now, if I had a message about my mini, where would I put it?

I don't think it would go in the new-mini box, as I don't own a new-mini.

What about if I owned a new-mini and wanted to know something about that?

I don't think I could put my message in the alt.autos.mini box because there is one which is labelled alt.autos.new-mini.

Pretty simple so far :-)

OK, now when I want to find my reply about my mini. Why is it that whenever I look in the alt.autos.mini box, it is full up with messages that must have been delivered in error as they are about a new-mini or arguing whether they have put the message in the right box?

I don't go to the post office and put mail that is destined inland into the overseas box because it just doesn't work like that.

It is such a simple thing, what am I missing?

It is like walking into a Butchers shop to find that although they sell meat, you have to search through all the veg before you can get to it!

And before anyone starts.....

I have nothing against the new-mini, it's just being greedy trying to take up two newsgroups! (It is wide but then that is no excuse!) ;-)

I don't reply to abuse so please don't bother, it is getting a bit tiring on this NG

What you're missing is that some people believe that inland mail and overseas mail should go in the same box together because at the end of the day it's all mail. Some of these people also think that inland mail never existed and so all talk should be overseas mail.

Thank God! Because you just ask for abuse. It will be such a pleasure having you not respond for once. I have a Mini Cooper, is it old or is it new, I don't give a shit.

"erik fishead" scrawled in semi-intelligent script:

Ahh... but you see.... if you look at the two different types of mail they are badged differently.....

Have you ever seen "par avion" on inland mail?? I think not......

(or in other words, this is a classic group and should stay that way.. bini's have thier own group... please stick to it)

Look we're only interested in the Issigonis Mini on this newsgroup, why can't people get that into their heads?

Because the title does not clearly state that.

The charter does and that is why I suggested that it be posted weekly. That and being cordial to fellow motorist and hobbyist by pointing them to the correct group as opposed to the primate grunt and gestures currently being offered by certain knuckleheads on here.

Brilliant comeback taffy. What a beautiful and graceful vocabulary you have. It is such an honor to be in your presence and to learn from your vast knowledge. You really are "trailer trash" !

I considered your request and I am afraid I have to turn it down. I hope you understand Taffy.

Thanks though for the brilliant sample of aforementioned grunts and gestures - lol.

fishead, not Fish Head. Simple enough to see the difference, I'm sure.

Not that it matters to me anyway, Mark.

Well if you don't like it you know what you can do, what's wrong with you people do you have a limited memory span or are you generally mentally challenged, anyway I've never lived in a trailer in my life, been on holiday in a few though.

Me, mentally challenged. No, you were the one telling someone to have sex with them self. Sounds like you have the issues here. And what exactly is it that I can do, if I don't like it. You weren't very clear on that. So you don't live in a trailer, you just act like white trash.

Please present your Doctorate in mental health.

You Sir are nothing than a functioning illiterate and imbecilic fool.

Well quite frankly your both suffering from some kind of delusional problem, a bit like the guy who shot John Lennon? You obviously don't like verbal abuse, but you abuse this newsgroup and think it's fine? Well I pity you, I expect life's tough when your not wanted? And it's such a pity the BINI isn't welcome here either, I imagine it really gets under your skin that we're using the Mini name and keeping it pure Issigonis related, what are you going to do next, get the mighty BMW to take legal action?
