Isn't it simply wonderful that the OS/2 newsgroups are now populated
largely by children whose primary contribution is name calling and
flames. We are truly blessed to find such truly intelligent life here.

Just imagine how nice it would be if the eCS fanatics and Serenity

you would confine your posts to the very public eCS newsgroups.

But that would be too simple, wouldn't it Jim? And why would
you want to face those other five eCS Lusers sitting in the eCS
newsgroups complaining about eCS and the failure of Serenity
to live up to their promises?

Go away Jim and you'll be helping the OS/2 community.

There's still enough useful content that I choose to stay.

However, it requires a proactive approach. I've permanently killfiled all
those that seem to thrive on flames, abuse or whining and I'm quick to
kill subjects that are obvious responses to flame-bait. It's clear they
don't care what I think or say. It's unfortunate that there's one
knowledgable eCS reseller who is getting close to being killfiled by me
because he can't seem to resist taking the flame-bait. Too bad. I may
miss some useful information, but I don't care to invest the time it takes
to read subjects and hit the DEL key.

Don't feel too badly for the person you're considering killfiling --
after being attacked by them on two occassions in the recent past
because they had absolutely _no_clue_ about what they were talking
about, you can't really call them "knowledgeable". I'm on the verge of
killfiling the person in question myself.

Peter, you seem to have a reading comprehension problem. The fact
that a product relies on another product does not make the original
product the same as the product relied upon.

Is that above your head? Obviously. eCS itself is a minor problematic
proprietary product pushed by two scam artists. A set of public
newsgroups have been established for discussions of that problematic
product and those newsgroups are identified as 'ecs newsgroups'.

Ridding these OS/2 newsgroups of Microsoft, Linux and eCS intruders
would return these newsgroups back to their original purpose: the
discussion and advocacy of OS/2. Not eCS but OS/2.

Perhaps your mommy can take your hand and lead you back to
the eCS newsgroups where you belong?

Isn't it simply wonderful that you have started a
meaningless thread that will go on and on - wasting
bandwidth for hundreds of posts and contribute NOTHING to
any meaningful discussion.

Dear Timmy

I disagree.

The fact is that questions pertinent to the operation of the base os and
multimedia components are common ground and could be posted in both sets
of newsgroups.

I would agree that there is a case for asking eCS users to post eCS only
questions - relating to the eCS components - within the eCS
newsgroups. However, a lot of these eCS components - xworkplace etc -
are available to OS/2 users anyway so I suspect that the majority of
people looking for answers post in both newsgroups to try and get as
many responses as possible.

Anyway, Have a good life and keep taking the medication :-)

An unforgiveable oversight. I should also have written "fadda" rather
than "father", and of course "mudda" rather than "mother", in order to
achieve the proper resonance.

Maybe I should also point out to residents of the UK that "knickers"
does not have the same significance in American English as it does in
the varieties spoken in their country.

On a different level: I would REALLY, REALLY hope that those who
indulge in those slanging matches would read the above, and try hard
to understand how ridiculous their antics look to the rest of us.
