- Please read my entire message (i.e. don't just quote the whole thing
- ;). I said I'm assuming the sysadmin at anatolia is ignorant of
- netiquette and could use a gentle reminder to check out the messages in
- news.announce.newusers.
-
- Ignorant until proven obnoxious, I say! :)
-
- Although there are no ``net police'' (and I would disagree with that;
- they just aren't as overt as you would think), there are accepted norms
- of behavior on the net. i.e. don't post business ads on the net except
- in biz.*.
-
- People regularly overstep these conventions, and are subsequently
- flamed by everyone and their brother. I have seen only a few isolated
- instances where the person _knew better_ but was being obnoxious
- anyway; in most of the cases I have seen, once the poster was informed
- what convention was (and why it was so), they would cease and desist.
-
- So far, people trying to contact either the sysadmin at anatolia or
- Serdar Argic have been utterly unsuccessful. I'd like to see if anyone
- knows either one of them or knows how to contact them, by phone, in
- person, at a UUM meeting, whatever. That's what I'm trying to
- accomplish here.
