I think 'Seamus' is a generic epithet, Bill. The poster in question
displays one or more attributes of the Pembrokinese Poseur.

Will you please stop misunderstanding everything said in this thread.
Please.

Please stop blurting out the first thing that comes to your head.
Please read the stated problem set. And read it again. And again.

The question is not a complaint. Learn the difference please.
The question is what free no-registration news servers do you know of?

That's the question.
It's a perfectly appropriate question for this newsgroup.

Yet, I think only a single person understood the question so far.
And that person isn't you, I'm sorry to say.

It's very simple but you seem to not know anything about news services.
If all you can think of is one kind of service, then you can't help.

You can't help anyone, let alone yourself if you can't understand that I'm
not complaining - I'm simply asking for a more reliable no-registration
server.

You not understanding that simple question is not "moaning" on my part.
It's just you proving you know absolutely nothing about the topic at hand.

Stop that.
It's demeaning for me to have to chastise you for not understanding.

The concept of asking a question should be simpler than you make it.

I'm sorry for having to repeat what you people don't seem to comprehend
which is that there are two types of free news servers.

Those that require registration. And those that don't.
For those that don't, there are two types of no-registration free servers.
Those that have login credentials. And those that don't.

It's demeaning to me to have to explain something that simple to you.

It seems odd that you post to this newsgroup even though you don't
understand the difference between a no-registration news server and a
registration-required news server. Or what a simple question entails.

It's tiring that I must repeat to people like you that there are free news
servers which require registration, such as those from Wolfgang (aka Ray) &
Jesse & Alex & Sabine & Steen & Benjamin & so many other kind people.

Then there are no-registration news servers which don't require login
credentials such as those from Paolo & Steve & Ivo & others who are even
kinder since they provide their servers without need for registration.

I'm well aware that, over time, albasini, aoio, dizum, netfront and others
have shuttered their no-registration service, probably mostly due to
rampant abuse, but I can't do anything about those people who abuse what is
a wonderful service for the rest of us who enjoy no-registration services.

I'm really tired of having to laboriously explain again and again what is,
at least to me, a very simple and quite appropriate question of this ng.

What free no-registration news servers do you know of that I don't?

Kerman once ID'd me as Seamus. He calls a lot of posters
that.

In so far as he seems to be another aspie arsehole, yeah.
He has none of the tells that derbyshire has, and is in
my opinion far more likely to be that other autistic
torll, Arlen.

There aren't any others.
So you can help yourself and do as I suggested, or suck
it up.

William Stickers <bill.stickers@innocent.com> wrote:

> There aren't any others.

That may be the case knowing that I'm asking here expecting (or at least
hoping, but I was certainly expecting) to find people who know more than I
do about a topic of free news servers (particularly no-registration ones).

I ask here because I know that I don't know much about free news servers.
I know just enough to use them and that's about all that I know.

So I was expecting people on this newsgroup to know a lot more than I do.
You're not one of them, unfortunately for both you & for me in particular.

I can't reasonably take _any answer from you as correct_ given you didn't
understand the question until this very moment - which strikes you out.

People like you who take a dozen posts to understand a simple question are
never going to be the kind of people who can answer any question, let alone
a difficult question. Isn't that correct? So anything you say, is moot.

Because it took you this long to understand what was indeed, very simple.

(If you wonder why I harp on this, I'm trying to make the point that you
saying there aren't any is completely meaningless in light of your
thickness in understanding the question so you can't help me or anyone.)

For the rest of the experienced free news server users, the question is
What free no-registration news servers do you know of that I don't?

I knew what you were asking. You asked it several times.
I chose to tell you what you could do to help yourself
instead and I wish I hadn't bothered now. As it happens I
have just remembered another open news server that you
haven't mentioned yet, but because of your attitude I
can't arsed to tell you what it is. HTH.

Ah, I just tried posting through it and got this, "441
You are not allowed to post", so it looks like it is no
longer open. Pity, coz I still wouldn't have told you
what it was.

It's classic for people like you to claim, after it took you ten posts to
understand what was, after all, a simple question - that you understood it.

All I can say is that if you understood the question, you showed zero
comprehension of that fact until about ten times it was explained to you.

Like I said, if it took you this long to understand what was, after all, a
very simple question, it's likely impossible that you know more than I do.

And, as I said very clearly - I don't know much.
So that doesn't say much about your threat above not to help everyone out.

If I did know more than everyone here combined, I wouldn't have asked the
question of the people on this newsgroup - who are presumed to know more
than I do about the existence of no-registration free news servers.

By asking this question here, on a.f.n, I'm hoping to find someone who
knows more than I do about the existence of no-registration free servers.

As I said, if it took you this long to figure out the question, when the
question wasn't a difficult question to understand (it was difficult to
answer, but not hard to understand) that alone means there isn't much you
can ever do to help anyone here, even as I openly say I don't know much.

With that in mind, I suspect the news server you were trying may be this:
news.dizum.net:119

Which used to work both for posting and reading without needing credentials
but now it only works for reading and not for posting, without credentials.

What would be nice is to find someone who knows more than I do about
posting to free news servers because I will openly say I don't know much.

If I can't find a free no-registration news server that is reliable, then I
will need to begin looking at free reliable news servers which require
registration (but I was hoping not to have to resort to that level).

I listed in another thread the "reputed" free news servers, none of which
worked for me, where I can provide a specific example of this touted server
news.novabbs.org:119
But even with numerous emails to the administrator, it still won't work.

Does news.novabbs.org:119 work for you (with registration, of course)?
Because it failed every time I tried it (with registration, of course).

The paranoia and the petty demands and feigning offense when the
pettiness is not taken seriously is absolutely seamus-like behavior.

Yeah, sure. I can't comprehend a simple question because you say so.

> With that in mind, I suspect the news server you were trying may be this:

No. It was news.cyber23.de. Closed for posting now so I don't mind telling you it.
If I should stumble across another you'll be the last to know.

What useless newsgroup did you try to start that no one blowing sunshine

many sockpuppets ago was that?

See if you can hold that grudge for another 20 years.

I've forgotten how many alt* froups I've newgrouped, but I know I never discussed them in
alt.config or sought anyone's approval in alt.config. The only time I've done the discussion thang
is when I was the proponent for a new local froup in uk*, which after a civil discussion was
approved and the cmsg newgroup sent.

As I never partook in any discussion in alt.config I couldn't care less about your antics in there
which was just pissing in the wind. New group cmsgs were sent anyway.
You being a fucking arsehole is what grates with me, so if you piss me off, I'll let you know.

[hypothetical]

Given that the server sees the poster's IP it would be trivial
to check for multiple accounts using the same IP. Even if you
use a VPN and change IP between switching posting accounts,
it would only take one slip and use the same IP for two accounts
to ring an alarm bell.
