Just because you lurk in every group that says Honda on it, doesn't mean
everyone else does. This is an un-moderated group, so by definition, no one
is empowered to police it.

What's next, criticism of every top-poster and anyone who has the audacity
to ask about the maintenance light? Your postings and your website have
been very useful to a lot of people, but lately you seem to be descending
more and more frequently into the etiquette policeman trap. Maybe its time
to take a short break before it all drives you nuts.

Personally, I think it's absurd to point out to someone voicing their
opinion about someone else's posts (in this case Tegger) that this is
usenet, and people can say whatever they want.

I mean, reading your post, it looks like you're taking Tegger to task
for his posting, which was taking someone to task for their posting.

Whatever. After all, this is usenet, and you can be as silly as you
want to be. Just don't expect other people not to notice.

well /i/ think tegger's request is perfectly reasonable - it saves a
bunch of messing about. i may "donate" time for free, but that doesn't
mean it has no value and that i like wasting it on multiple independent
posts.

I think Tegger's request is simply ridiculous and I just can't imagine why
he thinks he should have to respond in each group where he sees a question.
Who ever said you have to answer the same post independently in each
newsgroup? If someone takes the time to post the same question individually
to different groups, a reasonable expectation is that they are looking for
different responses from different people.

I just hate to see this stuff start. I've been lurking/participating in
some of these groups for over a decade and I've seen this happen a number of
times. Once the etiquette postings start, usefulness stops. I have a
number of ID's in the kill file of formerly intelligent and helpful people
who burned out and descended into nonsensical rants about top-posting and/or
the infamous "Maintenance required" light. I am hoping Tegger doesn¹t
become one of them.

what a bunch of passive-aggressive bullshit. if you want to killfile
someone, either just do it or shut up. ranting with this, "i'm writing
to you, but my /real/ intended audience is tegger" crap is /so/ ing
juvenile.
