For as long as I have been a member of ARBR, a certain Mr. Tom Sherman has
always been the most prolific poster. That is about to change very shortly,
unless he returns and resumes his one liner posts. Yours truly, Ed Dolan the
Great, is soon to overtake Tom Sherman and become the all time champion
poster to ARBR.

Here is the relevant information for those of you who are interested in such
esoterica:

Moreover, my posts are not one liners without any content to them which was
often the case with Tom Sherman's posts. I never tried for this record
though. It just sort of happened due to all the wrangles I get into with
everyone here on ARBR.

When the big day arrives that I surpass Tom Sherman as the most prolific
poster, I will call everyone's attention to it. These are the sort of things
that I am good at. I am expecting that congratulations will be in order from
all and sundry.

I'm not very much surprised to learn that you may be about to become
the most prolific poster to this group. I'll take your word on this as
I can't get excited enough to follow the link you conveniently
provide.

Somehow I don't find that trooly equatable with 'champion' poster.
Didn't even realize there had been a competition running.

PS-congrats on your persistance.

You should have a look at that link Mike. If you look at the number of posts
listed in the archives over the years you will note some very interesting
numbers. ARBR was at it's prime several years ago and has been in a decline
for the past couple of years. But the big falling off occurs after the
criminal vandal troll appears, each and every time. The group is slowly
making a recovery, but I don't believe it will ever get back to where it
once was.

Newgroups are actually very delicate creations. They can easily be destroyed
by a single criminal vandal troll. Those of us who cherish this group need
to defend it when it comes under attack. I did what I could the last time
around, but one person cannot defend the group. The group must rise as one
to defend itself. Old timers who do not defend the group against criminal
vandal trolls are beneath contempt and I reserve a special venom for them.

Tom Sherman left the group after the last episode. I was death on him
because he would not defend the group against the criminal vandal troll. I
treat most of the rest of the old timers with contempt too because of the
way they behaved when the criminal vandal troll ruined the group. Mr.
Meinecke, who caterwauls about improving the group, did absolutely nothing
when it came under attack. Cowards are just so despicable.

Tom Sherman would keep track of stuff like this. He once brought it to the
attention of the group that he and I were responsible for a thread that had
gone on for almost 600 posts. This is what happens when one Billy goat
encounters another Billy goat. We butt heads until we become senseless and
drop from exhaustion. I could generally out last Tom Sherman, but it was
never an easy thing to do.

There are at present no others on ARBR who can compare to Tom Sherman for
stubborn resistance to the brilliance and genius of Ed Dolan the Great. I
always respected Mr. Sherman no matter how much I disagreed with him because
he played the game of newsgroup fair and square. The only types I cannot
stand are criminal vandal trolls of which ARBR has thankfully had only a
few.

Still, it is not easy to post more than 5000 messages to a newsgroup in just
a couple of years. If you don't think so, try it sometime.

OK, I did check out the link. Interesting, indeed.

I found this group in mid '03 while deciding which recumbent I to buy.
The decline (I'm guessing you are referring to the decline in numbers
of posts...I also wonder about percentage of relevent (not necessarily
'on topic' ones as well) was already begun, apparently, but I being
new was unaware.

I found this group to be a good source of information and to contain a
wide variety of perspectives, mostly related to recumbent cycling. The
decline did not gain my notice until fairly recently, I see that about
five months back the numbers of posts took the biggest drop ever.

Frankly I blamed this on the likes of you and Mr. Sherman. Notice the
past tense in that sentaence.

I don't use kill filing, but believe it to be appropriate in the case
of the vandal trolls you describe. I am sure, however, that I was not
the only reader to be discouraged when viewing the latest batch of
posts only to find that the useful ones were buried among a seemingly
never ending list of a couple of brats teasing each other.

It seemed this group was being buried. The criminal types were
obvious, and I generally subscribe to the theory that if they got no
feedback boredom would drive them elsewhere. However, if a
cantankerous old goat insisted on butting heads with them they would
derive the only pleasure in their sad little lives and settle in for
the long haul.

I did look up those years when there were thousands of posts. Most of them
were idiotic posts by idiots who were saying absolutely nothing at all.

You are quite wrong about that Mike. Mr. Sherman and I were feuding from day
one for a couple of years and that did not affect the numbers posting to
ARBR. The deadwood from Florida soon decided to leave and it was good
riddance to them. But what did affect it was the criminal vandal troll. A
newsgroup can only take so much cussing and swearing before many decide to
leave forever.

The criminal vandal troll never posted under his own name (always using
proxy addresses) and used other's names fraudulently. He was nothing but a
criminal and the group, while recognizing this, refused to condemn it - most
likely for fear of coming under attack themselves. Such cowardice turns my
stomach!

You are unable to make discriminations. One was a criminal brat who was bent
on destroying the group and the other was trying to save the group. Kill
filing is the coward's way out. I simply can't tell you how much I abhor
those types. Criminal vandal trolls must be fought the same way that Islamic
terrorists must be fought. All it takes for evil to prevail is that good men
do nothing.

I do not leave a battle unfought. Your attitude is what brings disgrace on a
newsgroup. It is a typical liberal reaction when confronted with criminal
types. It is far better to go down to defeat than to leave the field of
battle. Furthermore, you are equating that which cannot be equated. I always
posted fair and square, something that the criminal vandal troll never did.

It never ceases to amaze me how some take to the tall grass when the going

because courage makes all the other virtues possible.

I do not intentionally try to be offensive, but I only have so much patience
for idiocy and stupidity. Whenever I get fed up with this group, I
investigate other newsgroups and I quickly learn what TOTAL idiocy is all
about. ARBR is not so bad as it is mostly composed of elderly types like
myself. There is a certain wisdom which comes with age that the young cannot
know until they advance in age themselves.

Clearly someone who top posts like a newbie does not have a clue about what
constitutes a quality post. Once you get the technique of posting learned,
then we can discuss whether your posts have any quality or not.

I learned proper posting technique by observing the posts of Tom Sherman. He
was the most correct poster ever to inhabit the precincts of ARBR. However,
it is possible to post even more correctly as a scholar would, but that is
overkill for ARBR. After all, there is no here but us idiots.

No one else here posts like you do. If you had a brain in your head this

thinking you can post anyway you want?

You deserve the criminal vandal troll and I most sincerely hope that the two
of you will some day connect. One thing is for sure - you do not deserve me.
Why the hell do I even bother with a delinquent like you who does not even
know HOW to post?

There are rules for everything in life. All this crock about everyone being
free to do whatever they want (as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else) is a
bunch of liberal hooey. I want everyone severely restrained from their
natural inclinations and their insane notions of freedom. Is ARBR a
newsGROUP or is it just a random assemblage of nuts and screwballs? Do we
belong to society or are we just free floating individuals?

Jeff Grippe is just a step away from becoming a criminal troll due to his
reprehensible technique of posting. How is it possible to have no sense of
shame about any of this. I attribute it to the liberal mentality which is
incapable of conceiving that liberalism could ever be 100% wrong about
everything.

Freedom from rules are only for those like myself who have proven themselves
to be superior beings and Great Saints. It is not for the likes of Jeff
Grippe who is a secular Jew who thinks abortion is a fine thing to prevent
the world from being overrun by unwanted children. It's like I am free to
kill you and you are free to be killed. That is the liberal's insane notion
of freedom.

Mr. Dolan,

Did you ever read Philip K. [censored]'s "Minority Report"? (Watching the
film version would also suffice, but I feel the original prose is
superior...)

Nope, I follow my own path undisturbed by what anyone else says or does. We
Great ones are like this.

Basically, I see myself as a mighty roaring god having to swat midges and
gnats here on ARBR. I am overwhelmed by the trivia that gets posted on this
forum. I feel I ought to get some kind of an award and/or acclamation for my
efforts here on behalf of the group, but no man is a prophet in his home
country. Some day the Lilliputians will not have Ed Dolan the Great to kick
around anymore and then they will be sorry.

Eddie, you need your medication adjusted big time.
