Sure he did. He asked where there was a new KDE package, and of course
the answer is: in -current (among other places).

Never, because I'm not a troll.

LOL, wrong on all counts, doofus.

> A fellow usenet user who's had enough of that crap

Unfortunately for you, there's nothing you can do about it, other than
come in here and whine a little. Your opinion is noted, and ignored.

Run along boy.

Well, he asked the "group"... if you had no clue, you should have kept your
mouth shut, be nice and sit in the corner like all good dogs.

Search capability for one. The search function on Knode is lame. And if
for example I fire up Google
Google groups I automatically get those threads to which I have posted
recently in a listing. If I search on a keyword for an unfamiliar
subject (e.g., memory cards for my new DVR ) I get posts from any
group. The only drawback to Google is overprotectiveness. It tends to
truncate email addresses and urls. Frankly if I didn't want the world
to read it I wouldn't post it in the first place.

No doubt there is a triple chrome plated newsreader out there that is
supeclifagilisticexpialidocious.
But Google does the job for me most times. De gustibus non disputandum
etc.

Again, distinctions must be made. Knode is a simple client for the
NNTP protocol, most commonly known as usenet or news. Nothing more,
nothing less. Google Groups is something else, again. It is a news
client, a news server, and a longterm news database. Let's keep the
comparisons apple and apples, ok.

And if you'd limit your readings to DanC's cyclic spurts and ANC
oenophilia praecox biased advices, you'd now know you're in the exact
wrong place )

Right, I see your idea, but then you're beyond the scope of Usenet, back
in the Web, using a publicly published on the Web private database on
different topics, including Usenet.
I understand your concern but if you go this only way you're the next
year publisher of books including chips that allow you to phone to the
typographs,printers,correctors,agents involved in the book :-)
Now, that might be just what the doctor ordered.

Well ...

supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Hem, sorry :-)

Though it's quite right, related to the (un)importance of the subject,
this aphorism is among the most stupid ever, and I'd say its success
over centuries is another proof it is :-)
Moreover, I feel it's quite in opposition with your :
"Frankly if I didn't want the world to
read it I wouldn't post it in the first place."

So, don't. Nobody is forcing you too.

No need for insults. Is RM really getting to everyone here?

You seemed to have missed our point. We are not "rude" to newbies.
We are not "rude" to those who ask genuine questions. But we do
treat rudely those who, like Dan C and Poser Keller, like to treat
everyone else badly.

Dan C is the biggest piece of trash in this ng.

Our response to him is always, "If we need any shit from you, we'll
just give your head a squeeze." That has only been used against Dan
C. So if you want to do your part to help this ng, simply say the
same thing to him that we do.

cordially, as always,

Nope.
I killfile him. Not enough to wipe him off the screen like I do with
ABC/ANC/AL C/AB/MF/SB but enought to keep myself from being tempted
to reply. It is easy. Anyone can do it.
