Sigh.....

Neither of you are overly familar with how this internet thing works are
you?  Didn't think so.  Thank god webtv is an alternative.

Oh yes, a virus that is spread through e-mail.  Uh...right.  It was the
*snicker* "good times" virus, right?

ROTFLOL!!!!

*wipes away tears of laughter*

Do me a favor and read up on how e-mail messages are encoded and
transmited.  If you still don't have a clue afterwards, feel free to ask
and I'll let you borrow one of mine.

Let me explain, very slowly, why crossposting messages to groups that
have no intrest in them is wrong.  You might want to use *both* your
brain cells, so be ready!

The first issue is one of bandwidth.  ALL isps, directly or indirectly,
pay for the amount bandwidth used.  Every single bloody packet
transmited is money out of their pockets.  This cost is passed along to
the consumer.  Even a class A provider is still leasing bandwidth from
companies like Sprint who maintain the backbone.

The next issue is one of storage.  This stupid thread has increased
number of messages stored per newsgroup by about 20 to 40 a day.  Usenet
is a rather unprofitable medium to begin with.  For the most part
(present company excluded, of course) usenet users skew to the higher
end user, since the medium is not inherintley user friendly.  If the
cost of providing newsfeed rises, without a wider user base, than it
will be unprofitable to continue.

This is why newsgroups have rules, charaters and FAQs that prohibit
binary file attachments, HTML posting, spam messages, and crossposted
bullshit like this thread.

Is it really that difficult to remove a group from the list you are
sending to?  I have made it a point to send a rather nice e-mail message
to everyone who has spread this crap asking them to remove
rec.games.computer.ultima.online from the thread.  Thankfully, the
majority of the people out there have had enough common courtesy and
sense of nettiquite to do so.

Some people, like you, have continued despite this simple request. 
(actually, you're the only one to have not done so).  Since you refuse
to listen to reason, or exhibit the smallest amount of nettiquite, I had
no choice but to ask your ISP to force you to stop.

Once again, there has not been a single poster from this newsgroup who
has participated in this thread.  There is no reason in the world why it
should be posted in this group.

If you wish, I will be happy to send you a copy of this newsgroups FAQ
so you can see for yourself.
