You guys have been at this damn battle of what should/shouldn't be be
posted in these 2 newsgroups.  There is no need to debate the issue.
It's called Internet and it's a place where at least free-speech can
still be a precedent.  One group is called dfw.singles, ok, it's a
singles group for people to post that live in DFW.  Now, are you going
to complain if someone from Malaysia was to post in "your" newsgroup?
No!  What do singles do?  --they look for other singles and try to get
hooked up!  The other group is called dfw.personals.  What's the
difference between the two?  If you have a magazine or read sections of
the newspaper, you will see that personals and singles are very much the
same.  So to debate what should and shouldn't belong means that you are
governing something that is supposed to be free (FREEdom of speech that
is).  On another note, why do you care anyways?  If the subject of the
post doesn't concern you nor are you interested in giving feedback
pertaining to the post at hand, why do you constantly waster you little
fingers typing to something aggrevates you?  If you see graffitti on a
wall, do you complain to the shop keeper?  No!  Do you complain to the
neighborhood?  No!  what do you do?  You pass by and think nothing of it
for the most part.  You don't make a federal case out of it!  If you
find something THAT disturbing, then yes, you'll complain, but not to
the point where you'll go waaaaay out of your way.  There are lost of
newsgroups, and I don't see everyone in them complaining about every
little nit picky thing they come across.  Learn to use discretion,
flitering, etc...  And my last word on this is: These are newsgroups,
you guys use them like they were the old style bulletin boards where you
post a message and wait for a response to come back and continue doing
this until there are like 50 responses to one message.  If you are
trying to carry on a conversation, why don't you use the phone or irc?
Makes more sense and you can get more accomplished in less time..
hell, do a GTG.  Then you can sit down face to face with one another and
carry on as you'ld like.  But that still wouldn't suit some of you as
you wouldn't have something to bitch about.  I mean, what do you guys do
when you around other people and let's say the occassion is a birthday
party, and someone says "man, look at that girl over there, she's
hot!!"?  Do you get all peaved and ask "what are you doing here?  this
is a birthday party, not a pickup joint!".  It makes no sense to bash
someone for wanting to post something.  Well sure there are 2 newsgroups
that are for DFW, but unless someone specifcally knew what kind of
people posted in them, etc...  how else would they know what to post?
It's like the binary groups, they have people posting to come to their
web site, nobody complains there...

Sorry, had to get this off my chest and I'm sure I could have said more,
but I have no need to waste my time on such a ridiculous thing as
complaining that someone OOPS posted in the wrong group or that I saw
something I didn't want to see.  It's your fault you read a message you
didn't want to see.  Read the topic of the message and then decide if
you want to read the damn message.  If I made a newsgroup called
DFW.COMPLAINTS, and someone made a remark to my message that wasn't a
complaint, do I go out and try to get their isp to close their account
since they didn't complain in my newsgroup?  No!  It's stupid and
childish.  Just move on to the next message people!  Be realistic!  Be
mature!  The internet is not just your's!  Unless you own the actual
server, what right do you have to say "it's mine!".  Final note on
this:  this isn't a moderated group which means anyting goes.  If you
wanted it moderated, you should have asked for it to be and then you can
have that nice little ".d" after your newsgroup or ".moderated".
