Can we get back to the on-topic posts, please.
If you don't know how to post on a newsgroup, see news:news.newusers
If you need to respond directly to a poster, don't start a new topic.
The poster's email address is typically included in the header of his
post. Email him directly.
If you need to flame someone, do it in news:alt.flame
Thank you,
Scott

Depends on which forums you post to, some don't bother with any netiquette,
this group is one of the stricter ones in my experience. It's probably due
to the fact that there's a lot of useful stuff here to read so we try to
keep off-topic and pointless posts to a minimum.

The group names have probably changed. A quick look found
news:news.announce.newusers and news:news.newusers.questions which might be
helpful.
Lastly, a tip, don't use your proper email address if you can. A lot of
spammers get email addresses by sending programs trawling through
newsgroups. Try setting your email address for your newsreader to
martin.l...@nospam.sympatico.ca or something like that, anyone reading
your messages will realise to remove the nospam part and it should confuse
automated programs spammers use. It won't get you off spam lists you're
already on but should help stop you from getting on more.

Well, news:news.newusers isn't necessary (although it is very helpful).
The only real thing to know to get along successfully in an online
forum is: read the forum without posting ("lurk") for a while (30 days
is the usual recommendation) to observe how things are done in a given
forum (like not top-posting, which is the de facto rule in virtually all
USENET newsgroups). Then, if and when you do post, follow that style.
Following the posting style used in a group will cut down on the number of
off-topic (and sometimes downright off-rocker) responses (and flames).
It also will make it easier for your posts to be read in the context of
a discussion (which is pressumably what you want when you post anyhow -
I'm assuming you're not just trolling for flames), at least in the case
of quoting and responding appropriately (not top-posting, quoting only
the part of the previous post which you're addressing, etc.)
And, for the rest of you, again, take the flames to email or news:alt.flames,
where follow-ups to this message have been directed). No one needs to see
how wittily you can off-topically insult someone on this group, no matter
how much you or anyone else thinks he or she deserves it. If you've got a
game-related argument (or even rant) to settle, then fine (well, passable
anyway).
Anyone feel like talking about a Trading Card Game about vampires now?
