miniman - 12 Dec 2005 23:42 GMT Hi all!
Does anyone know the answer to this hypothetical problem because I am getting fed up trying to work it out!
I have a very very simple filing system,
It consists of two boxes: one labelled alt.autos.mini one labelled alt.autos.new-mini
Now, if I had a message about my mini, where would I put it?
I don't think it would go in the new-mini box, as I don't own a new-mini.
What about if I owned a new-mini and wanted to know something about that?
I don't think I could put my message in the alt.autos.mini box because there is one which is labelled alt.autos.new-mini.
Pretty simple so far :-)
OK, now when I want to find my reply about my mini. Why is it that whenever I look in the alt.autos.mini box, it is full up with messages that must have been delivered in error as they are about a new-mini or arguing whether they have put the message in the right box?
I don't go to the post office and put mail that is destined inland into the overseas box because it just doesn't work like that.
It is such a simple thing, what am I missing?
It is like walking into a Butchers shop to find that although they sell meat, you have to search through all the veg before you can get to it!
And before anyone starts.....
I have nothing against the new-mini, it's just being greedy trying to take up two newsgroups! (It is wide but then that is no excuse!) ;-)

I don't reply to abuse so please don't bother, it is getting a bit tiring on this NG

What you're missing is that some people believe that inland mail and overseas mail should go in the same box together because at the end of the day it's all mail. Some of these people also think that inland mail never existed and so all talk should be overseas mail.

Not that it matters to me anyway, Mark.

Ahh... but you see.... if you look at the two different types of mail they are badged differently.....
Have you ever seen "par avion" on inland mail?? I think not......
(or in other words, this is a classic group and should stay that way.. bini's have thier own group... please stick to it)

Because you just ask for abuse. It will be such a pleasure having you not respond for once. I have a Mini Cooper, is it old or is it new, I don't give a sh.t.

Tatiele - 13 Dec 2005 15:12 GMT Because the title does not clearly state that.
The charter does and that is why I suggested that it be posted weekly. That and being cordial to fellow motorist and hobbyist by pointing them to the correct group as opposed to the primate grunt and gestures currently being offered by certain knuckleheads on here.

What a beautiful and graceful vocabulary you have. It is such an honor to be in your presence and to learn from your vast knowledge. You really are "trailer trash" !

Well if you don't like it you know what you can do, what's wrong with you people do you have a limited memory span or are you generally mentally challenged, anyway I've never lived in a trailer in my life, been on holiday in a few though.

No, you were the one telling someone to have sex with them self. Sounds like you have the issues here. And what exactly is it that I can do, if I don't like it. You weren't very clear on that. So you don't live in a trailer, you just act like white trash.

Well if you had any dignity at all you'd clear off and stop posting here, you now your not welcome and never will be, but queer people like you just don't get it do you! I imagine your an inmate in a lunatic asylum, I expect they let you loose on the net for good behaviour?

They get totally irate and barbaric if you don't believe in their one sided way of thinking. I would have left this boring newsgroup a long time ago, if it wasn't for the comical response from these lonely,lonely boys. Such a shame.
Tatiele - 16 Dec 2005 04:02 GMT Like you Man, I only post because of the two imbeciles. If only they gave up I will move on.

Thanks though for the brilliant sample of aforementioned grunts and gestures - lol.

Let's see...no punctuation, statement rendered meaningless by apparent omission of the word 'other', over use of 'You Sir' in futile attemps to appear witty and/or intelligent. Yep, as I suspected, a classic case of 'Pots and Kettles'.

Tatiele - 16 Dec 2005 04:03 GMT English is not my first language Bro. But I wager that I do better than you on my TOEFL course.
I forgot this was an English forum you stupid fool.

Tatiele - 16 Dec 2005 12:11 GMT Yes you're the fool Gordon.
I make many on topic post but like the rabid Dog that you are, you only focus on this current banter that we are having.
Thanks for taking time out of your busy schedule to audit my posts though.

So in the past 24 hours, you've called people here imbecile, illiterate, stupid fool, rabid Dog (what's with random upper-case? Are you unable to type even bad English?), and pu**y - so basically, in the absence of anything resembling a good point or a reasonable, well-thought argument, you have no choice but to resort to name calling. Speaks volumes that does.
Like I said, whatever. Trolls like you come and go, but people with a genuine interest in the genuine mini stay for a lot longer. I know you'll get bored and look for your sad kicks elsewhere, or somone'll complain to your ISP, but until then, our killfiles will bring us all peace.

You obviously don't like verbal abuse, but you abuse this newsgroup and think it's fine? Well I pity you, I expect life's tough when your not wanted? And it's such a pity the BINI isn't welcome here either, I imagine it really gets under your skin that we're using the Mini name and keeping it pure Issigonis related, what are you going to do next, get the mighty BMW to take legal action?
Taffy
Tatiele - 16 Dec 2005 03:58 GMT Now we shot John Lennon too? Man, go see a Dr and get some sort of treatment = lol.
