Well that's the greatness of free choice. The newsgroups really don't play
an intricate role in the AW environment. So, if you want to partake in them, you take the risk of downloading 1 kb longer messages or HTML messages and/or file attachments. It's your choice. Simply comparing my (my being a generalization to most users in the NG) not taking out a sig or two or not changing the subject line to someone spamming or what have you is just silly. :) I do clip my "quotes" when they get too long, other than that, I'm just don't feel the need to spare you a kb every 2-3 messages. Ignore the thread, don't download it's headers, etc. I also don't think it's abuse in what I do.. you should've seen when whomever posted that freaking giant penny in the AWTeen newsgroup. Now that's abuse. --Bowen-- [View Quote] |
