"THE STANDARD ADVICE:

There is a way to influence what gets discussed in a newsgroup that works well, and another way that has never worked no matter how many people have tried it.

What works: Post articles on the topic you wish to see discussed, and participate in the resulting discussion. Use killfiles and
filters so that you don't see the articles that you dislike. If you don't know how to use a killfile, use good old fashioned discipline and don't read the articles that you dislike. Never, ever respond to articles that you dislike.

What doesn't work: Respond to articles that you dislike, complain
about articles that you dislike, complain about posters that you
dislike, complain about how terrible everyone else is for not posting what you want them to post. Talk about how to respond to articles that you dislike. Make the articles that you dislike the center of
attention, the main topic of discussion, and a personal crusade."

The above, of course, fully applies to my own posts - including this one.


I can see some logic in this persons advice. I am quite curious about what such advice other 'campers' here have on the subject. Is there, in fact, some consensus on how best to post questions, and respond to such posts, etc.

After all, science has found order in even chaos theory.
