- :)Joel, if you want to get taken seriously, you must stop doing
- :)things like proposing joke groups (to the extent of a CFV)
- :)and posting ASCII art in alt.config. Every time you do
-
- Joel has said more than enough times he's serious about this proposal. Maybe
- posting ascii files related to the group he's proposing in alt.config isn't
- the right way to go about it, maybe it is. For the past week I've seen him
- post several articles about his serious intents, and I for one at least
- realize that his ascii posts are an attempt to show others the need for
- the proposed group. And in response I see countless numbers of people basically
- telling him to go away. Whatever he may have done in the past, please quit
- whining about it. If he's serious, which he's said that he is, then serious
- discussion is warrented. Whining won't help. If this is another joke, the
- fact that he's done it before means he'll do it again, and whining about it
- won't help. The key point here is that either way, whining about it won't
- help. So if you insist on bothering the readership of two gropus, could you at
- least please have a serious discussion about the proposed group and not about
- Joel? Thank you.
