Roscoe is a moron.  Here is why:

#1 What does stooge botting have to do with the discussion of spamming?

#2 It is my God-given / Darwin-given right to use a stooge-bot on a server
if I so desire. 

People then say: You are playing without skillz.  
This is not entirely true.  I am playing with LESS skills.
Insead of having to shoot I use my thinking on hogging quad, red armor, 
strategy, etc.

Then people say it is not fun.
Well it is very fun for ME, and don't we all play games because it is FUN
for ME?
Then people say that I am ruining the game for the other players.
Not so.  I am simply making the game as if CookusBot[Flag], RonBob[CGib],
[insert your favorite quake player] were playing instead.  So it is not
making the game impossible.  Just harder.  Regardless of whether I am using 
a bot, a single quad rocket can take me out.

#3 If you need to look up zebra in the encyclopedia you don't pull out the
'W' book.

#4 Likewise, if you are writing an encyclopedia, you don't put zebra in the
'W' book unless there are that many morons out there who think zebra belongs
in the 'W' book instead of the 'Z' book.

#5 For those who are mentally challenged (which must be a lot of you since 
you are playing quake) I was just describing an ANALOGY (A-NAL-O-GY)

So, if you read a Danish newsgroup for UK Quake news, then you are reading
the wrong newsgroup.  If everyone posted THE WAY THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO,
then de.games.quake would only receive POSTS ABOUT QUAKE FROM/TO/FOR DANISH
PEOPLE.

Why? Because if you want to talk to UK Quakers, you post to 
uk.games.quake.

VERY SIMPLE CONCEPT, REALLY.

And people will read uk.games.quake expecting British posts.  
And people will not read South African ng's looking for British posts.

#6 What is the difference between asking for UK quakers on git.talk.quake
and comp.os.linux.advocacy?

NOT MUCH.

WE ALREADY ESTABLISHED THE RULE THAT YOU SHOULD NOT POST TO NEWSGROUPS YOU
ARE UNFAMILIAR WITH.  

So if you have no idea what git.talk.quake is for, don't post there.
If you do realize that git.talk.quake is a Georgia Tech quake ng, then
you should not be posting there asking for UK clan members.

Obviously you don't post to comp.os.linux.advocacy asking for UK clan 
members.  Now that I have educated you, you should see that the same
rule applies for git.talk.quake, even if it is semi-appropriate.

BTW - I dare you to post to comp.os.linux.advocacy with a Microsoft news reader
and say that Win95 rules and Linux sucks.
