It just seems any one posting here has to be from the UK or they get
blasted.

I mean if it is maybe it should be renamed to uk.autos.mini

With all the trouble in the would today, would it not be better to just
get along in here and set differences a side

I am sure I will get blasted for asking this here with such an
irrelevant post.

Nothing can be posted here except for news group boxing round after round.

I thought news groups were for the exchange of information and if some
one does not like some ones post, instead of ignoring it like they
should it is classified as spam or abuse.

Who is the person who started this news group, what is it origin and who
is the modirator.

If it belongs to one country and no one is welcome here then all those
not belonging should leave.

This forum is becomeing not constructive and is now beginging to lack
information other then attacks, flams and bond fires.

If you dont like a post block it, ignore it, dont reply to it the more
replies the longer it lives.

If you want this post to go away and it offends you some how plase do
not reply to it and it will expire.

Nothing against them, just that it makes the criticism of the Bini look
tame...

REAL mini...my a.s! You mean "old" mini. The REAL mini is made by BMW.
You are just behind the times and not willing to change. At least thats
what Rocky Frisco told me.

You are correct....This group is VERY anti-American. Obviously the UK
only believes in free speech, as long as you don't disagree with their
narrow minded views.

We have some resident Trolls who are faking user IDs and posting abusive
comments. Check that the headers are all correct before responding.
Don't respond to cross postings as they are intended to cause angst.

It's a bit rough in here at the moment but anyone with a keen interest
in the original Mini should stick it out as I assume the aim of the
Troll is to have the users all abandon the group.

Then why are YOU cross-posting this to rec.ponds?  What has cars to do with
ponds and fish or alternative health issues?  Please trim your headers
before cross-posting as it just makes the problem continue on.

  "Consider that language a moment. 'Purposefully and materially
supported hostilities against the United States' is in the eye of the
beholder, and this administration has proven itself to be astonishingly
impatient with criticism of any kind. The broad powers given to Bush by
this legislation allow him to capture, indefinitely detain, and refuse a
hearing to any American citizen who speaks out against Iraq or any other
part of the so-called 'War on Terror.'

  "If you write a letter to the editor attacking Bush, you could be
deemed as purposefully and materially supporting hostilities against the
United States. If you organize or join a public demonstration against
Iraq, or against the administration, the same designation could befall
you. One dark-comedy aspect of the legislation is that senators or House
members who publicly disagree with Bush, criticize him, or organize
investigations into his dealings could be placed under the same
designation. In effect, Congress just gave Bush the power to lock them
up." -- William Rivers Pitt

The Victorians thought viewing the patients in Lunatic Asylums was good
entertainment. A trip to Bethlehem, or ‘Bedlam’ as it became known for
short, was one of the great treats of a Londoner’s leisure time, like a
trip to the theatre.
