Well, at least I serve a function here.
I know you eagerly await the day when you can once again concentrate on
the serious stuff like the best type of tees, graphite vs.steel ball
kers, how many pars Frostback had today, or how bad Lanny sucks.
k my words, you'll rue the day when I leave this NG. Unreal rueage!

You give yourself far too much credit...you started posting your
ramblings and bitter comments to this newsgroup because in doing so,
you once stood out from the crowd. Unfortunately, there are now another
12-20 other posters here just like you...sad little mimes who probably

There are plenty of good golf discussion sites on the net that offer a
swap shop, flea ket or BST. To have something like that here would
just cause more problems (My opinion) I'm not sure that it'd work at
all. As for Rec.Sport.golfforsale. What a joke of a newsgroup.

There seems to be a life cycle to almost every news group. At some
point much of the on-topic material has been covered adnauseum and the
group reaches "maturity". At that point it can really only go a couple
of directions... one is the post stay mostly on topic but dwindle off
to nearly nothing and the group dies, the other is posts wander
off-topic and contiune at a fast pace and the group lives on... in an
altered state. I think RSG matured several years ago. There's only so
many times you can cure a slice, hash out Casey tin, range finders,
how tired Tiger is, etc before it gets boring and there's nothing new
left to say. :)

You would guess wrong. Most would consider OT municipal political
satire and Larry's latest and greatest equally relevent to GOLF. What
does have me puzzled is John Van Pflum's eager participation in one
thread but condemnation of the others. Whooah...is there a fuckin'

Yes, it was satire, and John's participation in that thread only
demonstrated his opinion of political OT threads that are killing this
group.
Yes, of course there are cliques on this newsgroup - easy to see which

No arguement at all, Bret. I can't tell you or anyone else what to
post. That's why it was an opinion, so, slap away. And how could I
killfile you when half (and dwindling) of what you post makes me laugh

Your opinion has been duly noted and forgotten.
If I need any more advice from you I'll slap it out of ya.
You see, you have fallen into the same hole with Dalecki and Pflum.
You guys have every right to complain about someone's posts, to
disagree with them, killfile them, or even to call them names if you
don't like them. But you have NO right to tell someone else what he
should post.
You think I like every post here? I've even killfiled a few jokers
myself, usually the racist ones with the racist titles. But I don't go
on incessantly whining about the idiots. I simply ignore them. How
fuckin hard is that?

Why not? You just did, right? BUSTED!
As I've posted already, I don't agree with those would keep
rsg 100% on-topic. First, it will never happen; and second,
guys who know each other pretty soon want to know more about
each other, what they think, etc. It's not like I can go to
alt.politics to bounce some political thought of off, say,
Tex. His opinion is fairly interesting to me at times so I
might bring my idea up here. For one example.
Topic drift is such an old topic on Usenet it's hard to believe
that we're still having this argument, but we are. Nonetheless,
it isn't going away no matter how much Mike and others might
dislike it.
So, Bret, take it as given that I agree with you on this one
about 98%.
Here's the 2%: There's obviously a line, somewhere, were
some self-censorship takes place with you. Otherwise, we'd
be seeing all kinds of random shit in here with your nym
affixed. Now, where you draw that line is ultimately up to
you, but I do think it's entirely reasonable and acceptable
for someone like Mike to say, "Look, people are starting to
bail on this group because the golf content is so hard to
find... as these are valued contributors, can you think about
your own OT posts and consider scaling back for common good?"
I realize that Mike lacks that tact, largely because he
doesn't accept that OT posts are ever a positive, but none-
theless I think his point can still be distilled to what I
just said. And I don't think there's anything with making
that request. You may decide not to honor it, and that's
fine, too.
Finally, I'll add that the rampant paranoia about Mike trying
to run the group is ridiculous. He's just one guy, he knows
he's just one guy, he and all of us know that there's nothing
he can do to impose his will on anyone. So on that account, I
think you and everyone would do well to drop the Dennis-in-
Holy-Grail act: "HELP! HELP! I'M BEING OPPRESSED!" No you're
not. Come on.

Hasn't he already imposed his will by stating his will? Is running this
group into the ground? Who cares, he does that daily? Oh wait, I just
imposed my will by my stating my opinion. Kind of like assholes, eh?

I first came around here as a lurker because I don't play golf. I do
follow golf and have watched it regularly since the days of Arnold
Palmer. I do have a 12 year old son who is a gifted golfer, but I
just can't get him to play as much as I would like him to play. Right
now he wants to play pool instead of golf. Soccer is my favorite
sport. However, when the big golf events roll around, I like to read
what the "expert" golf fans are thinking.
In any case, the OT threads in here are among the best I've read on
Usenet. I suppose it says something about the intelligence of
golfers. As far as I remember, I never actually started an OT thread
in here, but I enjoy contributing to them.

I think that's a terrific idea!
We should stage "Survivor-RSG." Each week, someone is voted off the
board. This person isn't allowed to post for a specified time period (a
week should do it). But as anyone who watches that show knows, it has
one big flaw. The strongest persons usually get voted off first. So I
would suggest that in addition to voting AGAINST a certain poster, you
can also vote FOR your favorite posters to keep them here.
My point is that it is very likely that more people here dislike me
more than Dullecki.
However, I think it is also true that more people here like me than
Dullecki, at least as far as it pertains to reading one's posts. Let's
put it this way .... who's departure would have more impact? If
Dullecki leaves, nobody cares. If I leave, it's Boredom City.
Who Rules, Baby? Let's VOTE!

He's not doing anything that isn't allowed to others, so he's not
getting away with anything that is not available to others. If
another clubmaker, or golf teacher, wants to include his business info
in his sig, they are welcome to do so. This has always been allowed
in Usenet.
You've never seen Mike offer any service, or anything for sale. I
you want information on buying clubs he has always been great about
giving it, and never made any attempt to be the one to sell them to
anyone.

I still say this (RSG) I think this would be a better place if we could
buy sell and trade stuff. it is lopsided no matter how you view or
measure it. when no one can and most are admonished for it. It does
seem absurd that Here not only can mike do it but most RSG customers
are proud of it .

Frankly, he's (John) an equal-opportunity reminder-er of what this
group aught to be about - and I applaud him for it. Check post 2 of
the "Cut and Run" thread.
Lesser doses of this could be construed as "good fun", but, the
constant run of this (from you as well as several others) has
collateral impact. So, respectfully knock it off and get back to what
you're good at, 'cuz this ain't it from where I sit.

Let me think about it. I thought about it. No.
You're almost as bad as Dalecki when it comes to whining about OT
posts. The only differences are that he can spell my name correctly
and he usually stays out of the OT posts.

Sorry about misspelling your name. Do you prefer to go by Richard or

Hey, you what, after thinking about this post for a while I want to
apologize. This is certainly not my MO or style. I wrote that in a
moment of frustration and I think it is inappropriate.
So, I apologize. Sorry about that, Bret(t) ;-)

You know better than that. A strong suggestion, or even a demand,
doesn't constitute being a dictator. See below.
dictate
Main Entry: 1dic·tate
Function: verb

Not this.

Not an order, just his opinion of what RSG should be, and what the

It's unfair to accuse him of that thought, since it would be just as
easy to accuse you of it too. If you have a problem with Mike it's
because you disagree with his stance, or his presentation of it. There
could easily be those who have the same opinion of your stance, or

You have differences with Mike, but neither of you will affect a major
change in RSG.
