Just curious. -Z- Pardon me, but I don't get it. What's the big deal with everybody counting bytes? Are you guys on dial ups or something?? Anybody who's buying Xbox's or purchasing high end video cards should be able to fork over the big $25 for high speed. Is there something I'm missing?? B. |

As Usenet is a text-based medium, it's considered polite to edit posts and include only relevant information in responses. Depending on your ISP, some users are charged per message or per byte for news usage. This type of limitation is not necessarily related to the speed of the connection or any other limits on web-based downloads or other protocol usage. Giganews is an example of a high-speed news service that bills you for each kilobyte over a limit chosen when you subscribe to their service. Also, note that interest in a topic does not necessarily demonstrate financial or technological capbility. Web-based newsgroup access is free in major urban areas of the United States through public services. Please see the links below for guidelines on proper behavior on Usenet.

XBox uses a NVidia chip, and the article was about the less known history of NVidia. The article itself even mentions that. So if I post a 13KB story about all the things my dearly departed grandma used enjoy shoving into her wrinkly **** and mention that one of them was an Xbox controller, that clears it for posting in this NG too? Excellent, thanks. Ancient history about the Nvidia line and its ties with Sega, plus a brief mention of the Nvidia chips used in the Xbox, neither warrants it being posted to the Xbox group nor warrants it be posted in its entirety PERIOD when an excerpt and a link would suffice. But if you want to support the obsessions of a known spammer, troll and would-be identity thief, that's your perogative. In that case I also suggest you do a Google search for a user named Cygnus in alt.games.video.xbox to get an idea of his previous activities in these groups.

Giganews is an example of a high-speed news service that bills you for each kilobyte over a limit chosen when you subscribe to their service. So switch to a free service. There are at least 100 free newsgroup servers available on the net, and they can be found with a simple internet search. http://www.newzbot.com/ Wow, that was tough! It took me about 2 minutes to find. Now everybody can shut up. |

It has less to do with the size of the post and more to do with scrolling past 13KB of previously read, twice-quoted text to get to your pithy response buried at the bottom. And frankly, it's a wonder anybody bothers. http://www.newzbot.com/ Wow, that was tough! It took me about 2 minutes to find. Now everybody can shut up. So if I find you a website on painless methods of suicide, will you shut up? Becuase that's about as relevant as your response. -Z- |

It took me about 2 minutes to find. Now everybody can shut up. Free Usenet providers don't necessarily offer all the services (and all the groups) of a pay service. Moreover, many of these free services don't offer direct NNTP connections. Pay services exist because people are willing to pay for them. It's my opinion that the issue of quoting and top-posting is less about the cost of the service and more about simple human courtesy. I apologize for bringing up an argument that wasn't necessarily wholly relevant. -KKC, who'd claim to be a mensch but doing so generally invalidates the claim. That, and there's no yiddish comprehension west of Jersey. -- -- "I'm going to put a nickel in this jar every time I get - kendrick a phone call from a mortgage company trying to make me - @io.com refinance for no good reason.

past 13KB of previously read, twice-quoted text to get to your pithy response buried at the bottom. And frankly, it's a wonder anybody bothers. My post was 2KB. So if I find you a website on painless methods of suicide, will you shut up? Becuase that's about as relevant as your response. I'm trying to discover the relevancy of any of your postings. You've now made 6 postings in this thread bitching about the existence of the thread. Smart. |
