this total bullshit newsgroup

OK:
Unfortunately, by the time one killfiles the top-posting twits and
the OT political dweebs, there remains precious little reason to
continue to monitor this group. Frankly, I for one could care less about
some stranger's childhood timidity or his twisted socio-political
viewpoint. In my view, those topics are best kept to talk radio and
quackology teevee. At any rate, can someone direct me to a forum in
which the actual topic of discussion really *is* care/maintenance of
Toyota automobiles?

What a way to make yourself feel right at home! Alienate just about
everybody right off the bat! Good work!

Top posting used to be De Rigeur, so you didn't have to wade through the
entire post to get to the new addition. But, that was back in the 80's,
when people had brains and didn't need an interactive diagram to tie their
shoes.

As far as your 'monitoring the group', no need! We can monitor ourselves
quite nicely thanks!

And ponder this one, Univac: why do you suppose it's called a "Group"?

Now, if you care to exit and re-enter without the Shoulder Chip, feel
free! Otherwise, I'll let Scott tell you...

If you post your car-related question it will probably be answered.
Otherwise you can visit these forums:

alt.autos.toyota.camry
alt.autos.toyota.prius
alt.autos.toyota.trucks
alt.autos.toyota.mr2
alt.autos.toyota.celica

There are also many web-based ones you can check. I subscribe to
SiennaClub.org

If your purpose of making this post is to complain then be prepared to
see nothing change. Almost all of us have done what you are doing and
eventually joined in.

If you can't beat them, join them. Nuff said. I don't seem to recall you
ever having contributed anything of value to help the cause that you are so
loudly advocating. Oh yeah, I can already tell you are a dumbass, but do you
suppose that the next time you want to post OT BS, you could mark your post
as being OT. It's common courtesy. Thanks.

I think there are too many political posts as well, but if you look, you'll
see there *are* care/maintenance conversations. The difference is that
Toyotas are so well-made, we don't have much to discuss.

You want >90% car problem talk? Go to any of the GM, Chrysler, etc. forums.
You'll be in a state of bliss.

Actually, top posting follows normal email convention. Open an email message
and Reply. You'll see that you are queued up to top post by default.
Frankly, this makes much more sense in a newsgroup than bottom posting
because you get the discussion in one post, and the replies to the
discussion in the following posts, and those following along should be able
to remember what the discussion is, and focus on the replies.

I perfer to killfile those that use the word "twit" in a sentence than to
kill file those with valid points to make, but do it contrary to accepted
ettiquette. I find it far more important that everybody in a particular
thread post using the same scheme -- whether top posted or bottom posted --
than to observe some ill considered "rule".

Come back when you can't stay so long ...

I don't recall anyone twisting your arm to make you subscribe to this
newsgroup, so perhaps the quicker you quit, the better off we'll ALL be.
Don't let the door hit you in the ass as you leave.

If he wants to talk about car problems he should buy a Mecedes Benz and
subscribe to that NG. He'd be in heaven!

M-B sports car used to be my dream car, but I've heard too many bad things.

When the teens are out of the house (thus making my insurance go way down),
we'll probably get a Lexus.

HEY! That was supposed to be Scott's line!

Oh Derald:

Your kind shows up occasionally on this NG. I'm just glad it's
occasionally. Relax and lighten up a bit, or buy a book and read it. In
that way you won't have to deal with other humans and insult us.

Regards...

Frankly, only idiots think so. (So no surprise that you do.)

An email string, where both parties are intensely aware of the
discussion, cannot be compared to USENET threads, fool. Even in
emails, top-posting is often inadequate.

Idiot. Quality, point-by-point discussions are impossible with
top-posting.
