Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / January 2006Duffy and Holly photos
I just posted 2 new photos of Duffy and Holly on alt.binaries.pictures.animals MaryL > I just posted 2 new photos of Duffy and Holly on > alt.binaries.pictures.animals And very cute photos they are! Beware those of you who haven't read abpa lately, there's a troll flooding the group.  SignatureVictor M.

I can't access them. Would love to see them. Sherry >> I just posted 2 new photos of Duffy and Holly on >> alt.binaries.pictures.animals [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Sherry Yes, I'll be glad to. A troll is sending *massive* numbers of junk to that newsgroup, so I wasn't sure if people from this NG would be able to get through. MaryL >>> I just posted 2 new photos of Duffy and Holly on >>> alt.binaries.pictures.animals [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] >newsgroup, so I wasn't sure if people from this NG would be able to get >through. Most of the recent posts to ABPA have been from "Wango"; while he or she keeps making disparaging remarks about cats, the posts do indeed contain pictures of animals, making them on-topic for APBA. If you are referring to some other troll, their messages are apparently being filtered by my ISP. SignatureJohn F.

They may be on topic but the flood of messages is against the TOS of his ISP. Also many of the pictures are copyright and he continues to post even when the copyright holders have asked him to stop.

Yes, I was referring to Wango. Granted, this is not the typical troll and perhaps I should just have said "flood," but anyone who posts hundreds of photos in a single mailing is deliberately making it difficult to find anyone else's items. Many of the photos he posts are gorgeous -- but it's also difficult to tell which are his own. Still, I wouldn't find it such an annoyance if he would post a few a day instead of several hundred a day! Anyone without broadband probably can't access the NG at all.

MLB > I have never been able to access abpa and have given up trying. MLB I have a PictureTrail account, and someone suggested that I use that instead. I'm going to do that soon -- set an album for "recent pics" and then direct people there. I don't think anyone would have problems with that account. I will post links to some of my current PictureTrail albums under my signature so you can see if that gives you access.

MLB >> [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > Beautiful pictures. :-) Am I right that Duffy is blind? Yes, Duffy is blind. He is a remarkable cat and can do almost anything a sighted can can do. There are even some contributors to this newsgroup who claim to be "Duffy's fan club" -- and he deserves it. He is charming, happy, active loving, everything positive that I can think to say.

MLB Not all servers carry all newsgroups. I read text groups through news.individual.net, since they block more newsgroup spam than does my ISP, but I have to read binary newsgroups (i.e., groups that allow attachments), such as alt.binaries.pictures.animals, through my ISP's server, as news.individual.net doesn't carry binary newsgroups. SignatureJohn F. Eldredge -- john@jfeldredge.com PGP key available from http://pgp.mit.edu "Reserve your right to think, for even to think wrongly is better than not to think at all." -- Hypatia of Alexandria I just went there to check out the group downloaded a bunch of pictures even got a new background picture. But what a bunch of whiney a.ses are in it; whining about a poster posting so much > But what a bunch of whiney a.ses are in it; > whining about a poster posting so much And this type of statement is why at one time I had you kill-filed. The reason why people don't like floods like this is because it can push posts off the group that they want to see. Read Catnipped's post for an example. Oh and the word is whiny not whiney. >> But what a bunch of whiney a.ses are in it; whining about a poster >> posting so much [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > off the group that they want to see.

Excuse me for not correctly spelling a word I won't even bother with a comment >>>>> I just posted 2 new photos of Duffy and Holly on >>>>> alt.binaries.pictures.animals [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] > >MaryL Hundreds? More like thousands. I haven't been able to get into abpa recently since I have to access it through biggulp.readfreenews.net. When I finally got into it this afternoon there were 9,626 new posts. After I deleted all of Wango's posts there were only 900+, and a lot of them were referencing the Wango posts. Wango needs to get a new hobby.

MaryL ARGH! Got there too late. Some idiot (wango-tango?) is "flooding" abpa and your post got pushed off before I could see it. Is there a web site you could post to or email them to me?

One person is flooding the NG with so many photos -- many obviously not his/her own and many sent at precisely the same time -- that others are literally pushed off, and anyone without broadband probably finds it nearly impossible to even access the group. That's a shame because many people used to post photos of our pets -- not great photos when evaluating for photography (although there was also a lot of that), but loving photos of our wonderful pets.

I believe you can request that your server begin carrying the newsgroup
