I think this newsgroup needs more promotion, and people need to be
educated about NNTP (maybe starting aged 15?)

Well, once upon a time, there was a cabbage patch, and all the babies in his
village were harvested there... unfortunately, lister's mum picked up the
cabbage instead of the baby, and here, you see the result...
And that's where lister came from, it is! IT'S TWUE!!!

I had heard that...
And Please... Fix your quoting.
The way quoting works is to have > characters before what OTHER people said.
I said "Aye, I recognised it from the fartface family ep too." and yet it
appears to have been written by you.

It should've looked like this...

Badly broken quoting like yours can only result in confusion and
mis-attributed text.

i've never used that quoting, i think its silly. i just cut and paste
your reply and reply underneath it. he didnt like them making fun of
his religion, yet he had no problem with them making fun of other
peoples' religions!

If you're not willing to quote properly, please don't post to Usenet.

Google even make this easy for you to do, by making the "Reply" option
from the "Show options" menu do it for you.  They even tell you to do
this in <http://groups.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=12348&top
ic=250>.  See the section titled "Summarize what you're following up."

You make think it's silly.  However, it makes life a hundred times
easier for everyone to follow who said what to whom, which makes your
posts far more likely to be read.  If you don't want people to read your
posts, why bother making them?
