No, what YOU fail to understand is when your second-grade teacher told you to
behave or the whole class would be punished. People like YOU are who got
everybody using aioe punished by having posting to <alt.home.repair> on the
ban list. You continuing to blubber about the consequences of your abuse of
an NNTP server only serve to make you sound like a two-year-old.

What caused your sudden change of heart about free newsservers, puddles?
Oh, it wasn't because altopia gave you the boot by any chance, was it?

Hold on, Pratt aka puddles aka Neal aka Gregory Hall aka Colonel Burke

He has even more sockpuppets than I'd thought.

What do you need me to do that for? You already did it yourself. You
keep doing it yourself. You're self troll-feeding.

You, kensi, seem to own the facultative skills necessary to understand that
the "point of view" of this "Idiot Kerman" is that of a gaumless moron.

The "Idiot Kerman" point of view is that _everyone_ using _either_ aior or
neodome is doing so expressly for nefarious purposes of Kerman's creation.

Worse, the "Idiot Kerman" claims that anyone who points out the fallacy of
his point of view is, in a word, someone whom "Idiot Kerman" doesn't like.

I don't easily claim someone is an "idiot"; but this "Idiot Kerman" fits.

The facts remain that (1) you can't post to common newsgroups with aioe; and
(2) you're limited to a small number of posts to all newsgroups with aioe.

Hence, it's useful to have another (perhaps similar) newsserver, where
neodome (+ probably others) helped fill the gaps in Paolo's server coverage.

Well now, isn't this a puzzle? YK hooking up with Paul Derbyshire's
notorious "kensi" sock? What can this possibly mean, I wonder...

Altopia gave everybody the boot. CC went out of business, I think because he
got an offer he could not refuse from the CCP who is now using his server
to spy on all of Usenet.

It HAD to be making money. If he had only 1000 subscribers at six bucks a month
that would be an income of six thousand bucks a month or 72,000 dollars a year.

When asked on Reddit why he was shutting down Altopia, Chris Caputo
replied, "It was no longer making a profit and my heart was no longer into
it. I wish I could offer useful advice, but I don't really have any except
to suggest that whatever you pursue needs to be something that excites you
and brings joy".

It wasn't making money because people are leaving usenet coz it has been
fucked up. Guess what helped fuck it up?

That is an easy guess. Usenet is mostly old people. All the younger people are
using FB, Twitter, TikTok and other so-called 'social media'. As for Usenet being
fucked up that is due to snitches and bitches like 'Jen Der Bender' who cry and
complain and keep harassing Usenet admins who do not need the troublemakers.

IMO it was the froggers and forgers; trolls and disruptors; idiots who
abuse Usenet by perpetrating Hipclone floods or DOS attacks. Also:
general miscreants; dogs-in-the-manger; maladjusted ne'er-do-wells;
political tub-thumpers and the mentally ill who are killing Usenet.

Do ~you~ fit into one of these categories?

BUT: never say die; I expect that I'll turn ~my~ toes up before Usenet
does. Meanwhile, long live Usenet.
