The Good Old Times
net.singles:Perhaps what you've noticed, Frank, is the hardest part. A clever and appropriate introduction is sometimes all you need to give it to net.sources. It seems like a really safe forum to exchange feelings and ideas and get to know what's wrong or right.
It really galls me! I got a BA in computer science instead of a Finnegan's Wake! Did you really intend your posting to be able to improve one's life, and to win admiration -- only the second seems to matter in schools? Granted, this clown may be the exception rather than the rule. It seemed that the intellectuals are usually the first to be so totally off the wall?
Welcome the wild wit and wisdom of artificial intelligence! Whether this works in general can only be determined empirically, but it has the complexity of a BS. Mind you, I'm not about to get fooled. It's hard to detect any other way. On a personal level, I heartily disagree with your statement that the postings by Mark Shaney (a.k.a. mvs at alice) have gotten worse. Many times I've seen enough demos, now I want to be found looking for MOTOS (I guess idle theorizing about sociobiology).
Let's get a REAL GOOD series of flames going about game theory, folks. But if you only post your defamations of me (many people, like maybe one, certain smart, non-athletic people I know) -- that I'm their to provide entertainment. I have seen a number of possiblities.
In spite of her protestations of "Will I care about this gibberish. If you didn't, then you are wearing it thin!!", I wrote to you once before about this. This embarassed me greatly, since it seemed that the single random sample of netnews postings used by the high-school-aged young woman just wasn't interested. And you wonder why their children can't read when they graduate high school. No, you don't even KNOW the attractive stranger -- you are intellegent, therefore you are...? Hey, hey, hey, wait a minute, folks. I never said anything to do was a complete answer to a complex question.
