Usenet does not need these monthly summaries. Judging by the
followups, in various groups, they are also quite undesirable.

Based on the definition of spam, provided in the Current Usenet spam
thresholds and guidelines FAQ,
http://wiki.killfile.org/projects/usenet/faqs/spam/ , Dave Yadallee's
XanaNews Statistic posts might very well be construed as spam, which
is minimally customized on a per newsgroups basis.

<quote>
"Substantively identical" means that the material in each article is
sufficiently similar to construe the same message. The signature is
included in the determination. These are examples of substantively
identical articles:

[...]
- otherwise identical postings minimally customized for
each group it appears in.
[...]

To my mind, one of the more negative aspects of Dave's post-count spam
is the effect upon some members of the great unwashed masses, who seem
to be misled into believing posting volume is a contest. These are
most easily identified by followups declaring, "I win!"

>> Does real life need Yads under any circumstances?

That seems to be a germane question.

You know, Dave, I've been reading your .sig for years, but cannot make
heads from tails. Further, I cannot ascertain any connection between
it and the subject of this discourse. It conveys little, beyond your
willingness to wave your religiosity in the faces of others and
promote your status as a social influencer in a MLM scheme.

Again, we have an instance where you post one of your virtually
trademark one line responses, to a nearly identically length article.

Adam's article, to which you reply, was 2245 bytes. Your followup
clocks in at 2624.

2624
- 2245
====
379

The signature, which you think answer some question posed, is 308
characters, or eighty one percent (81%) of the 379 added characters.
This compares to the forty one (41) characters of new content you
actually manually added to the thread, which says nothing pertinent,
beyond identifying you as a self promiting twat.

My recommendations:

1) Dave should cease papering Usenet with these unsolicited
posting summaries.

2) Dave should refrain from posting followups, until such time as
he has something to contribute.

3) Dave should continue to create these posting summaries, for his
own edification and/or entertainment, but should keep them to
himself.
