Yeah, if you want to get your ass FLAMED.

[J.A. Michel]

Why are people so mean on alt.hvac? Jeez what a bunch of jerks!

[RicodJour]

Wow. That must be horrible. I wonder if anyone has ever recovered from some usenet boob bitching...

[RicodJour]

There are only a few idjits. Ignore them, they're harmless.

That group has motivated someone to semi-officially (unofficially given that alt.hvac has no official anything?) post a killfile for that group that has at least largely only 3 or so notable bullies!

ESR wrote instructions on how to ask questions the smart way.

Basically, do your homework--show you've put in some effort to answer your own question. Nobody was born knowing everything; the people you're asking to help you got help from someone in their past. Most folks remember this and repay their debts by helping others. These are the people you're looking for.

As for the assholes? People *do* have a right to be assholes if that's what they want. Don't worry about them. Take what you need and leave the rest. Keep coming back and more will be revealed to you when you are ready.

Sounds like Master Po. ;)

Who knows. Some people enjoy having power over others. Maybe they're afraid of losing their jobs. Maybe they need the power, because they were the ones who almost flunked out of high school.

What I don't understand is...If they really don't enjoy helping people...then why do they bother with usenet?

But on Usenet, nobody has power over anyone else, and so the jerk-offs on alt.hvac ("Paul, "Bubba", and company) don't understand the concept of Usenet.

To act out their psychopathic sadistic tendencies?

[m Ransley]

I think we should all stop posting here and go to althvac.

Anonymity is like alcohol. It brings out the worst in some people. It's in every NG.

[Bubba]

Found any friends yet Nexy or are you still just babbling to yourself? Bubba

[Bubba]

Eat your wheaties this morning or something Ransley? Feeling a little bold and wanting to play in the "big room"? Not exactly a smart move but of course you are fee to play any "game" you wish. Have fun and I wish you luck Bubba

[m Ransley]

Right bubba, its the "game" , and a waste of time.

[Nexus7]

Yet another content-free posting from the #1 j*rk-off "Bubba" on alt.hvac! Hey "Bubba', it's Ok if he wants to play in the "big room", after all he doesn't have the pleasure of going to the "Big House" like you!

[Nexus7]

On most of the forums such as alt.hvac and web sites where "pros" are posting, it seems like they flame DIYers especially if prices are discussed. There is a fear of the free market. Hey' everybody else works in a job market where market forces determine the price! Therefore, if it is necessary to do so, don't hesitate to post prices. Comparison shopping is good. Everyone understand that specific circumstances may be different and all prices posted aren't comparable, but more information is always good.

It is sad to see a few members of some groups play their little games - that is what hiding behind an electronic network will do - bring out the AH's. It also brings out people who have real expertise and offer their expertise and knowledge to the rest of us.

Like to be able to meet some of these AH's - always wondered what their problem(s) are - psych types call it compensation for an actual or percieved problem. Ah well may the AH's depart the gene pool quickly.

The Mental Ownership of a piece of the internet is very great for Possessive People. What person or set of People can say they own a part of the internet. NONE but the ones who own it in their mines.
