Time For Me To Go
Only 10-20 new messages every day and 80% of them are spam.
I don't need any replica watches or Chinese sneakers.
Most of the Old Guard on ASC have left, are in my killfile or just post
birthday messages. Nobody writes about cigars.
It's not just ASC; it looks like Newsnet is dead so I'm deleting my browser.
My best wishes to those of you who are hangin' in. I know I'll see some of
you on various cigar/ malt/GPS forums.
It's been great, but this pebble is burning a hole in my hand so I'm
outtahere.

Yours is a name I don't know. I've only been here a couple of years, I
guess you've been lurking most of that time. While I agree that there is
a lot of spam, there is also a lot of cameraderie, banter, and "guys
having a good time[1]". While I agree that there is not a lot of cigar
content, I also agree with another poster (I forget who it was) in
another thread of a similar vein recently, it's all in the archives if
you care to Google. The time there is new cigar content is when a newb
arrives, or something stirs the collective. There is no point in
re-hashing the same reviews, discussing the same cigars ad-infinitum.
And we've got to do something in between times, hence the chat. If ASC
is your only newsgroup, then I can understand you removing your
newsreader. If it isn't, then you're missing a lot. Learn to use a
kill-file, I subscribe to eight newsgroups (well, twelve if you count
some "announce" groups that have no traffic (or none that I sea)), and
have no problem with the spam you mentioned. If you can't find a way of
kill-filing what you don't want to see then post here and tell us what
you're trying to "kill" and I'm sure someone will be able to help...
yes, even if it's the person that's helping that you want to kill. We
all know what it's like trying to listen to a conversation in a noisy
room.

Your reply is symptomatic of what's wrong with ASC. All that blather
but no mention of passing along or posting good deals you find. You
also have to remember a newbie is what you were when you first stopped
by. If repeating something you've said to others is a pain than you're
the one who should leave!

I was going to let your reply pass because it's so childish but it's
also symptomatic of what's wrong with ASC. It's sad that a few like
you can ruin it for what could/should be so many.

Excuse my barge-ing in (someone was bound to schooner or later - if you
ketch my drift). What yawl are missing is that there is no internet
coracle; 'tis a myth, I certainly wouldn't take a punt on his/her
