info on recumbents.

Later, have fun hacking each other, I am leaving the carnage.

I would hope you're not spinless...this is theoretically a bicycling
forum, after all. <sorry...couldn't resist>

Best,

You are right; it is dead. I am surprised Google is so spineless TO
HAVE ALLOWED THE DESTRUCIVE 2 YEAR OLDS!!! - certainly not us! From
2-300 to 1-200 to less than 100 to about 10; and 2 people ruined it
for the constant newbies. Very sad. For the 3 or 4 reMaining who were
discussing recumbents in the past: THANK YOU!

Google is not USENET. Google cannot control posting to
USENET newsgroups. Google provides access to USENET
content (reading, posting, searching archives,...)

Complain to the service provider of the offending posters if
their messages violate acceptable use policy. Posting the
same message over and over to different threads is commonly
prohibited by ISP and USENET news service providers'
terms of use. Posting harassing, vulgar, obscene, or abusive
messages also violates many ISP's policies.

ISPs are less likely to "enforce" topical post requirements
for newsgroups, although many have wording in their policies
to that effect.

Don't be too sure about that. All that has to remain in place is for Ed Gin
to keep hanging around.

I have never done that kind of [censored] in my life. It would not even occur to
me to do it. Why doesn't Meinecke complain about Ed Gin to his ISP then?

I am only throwing back in his face what he originates. There is no equating
what I do with what he does.

Every newsgroup I have ever seen is in violoation of that particular
requirement, so you can forget about that.
