User-Agent: slrn/0.9.5.3 (UNIX) [RGRNCA Propaganda Department logo appears to the screen, with the words "Believe the Propaganda" appearing letter by letter under it. Music starts playing - your average martial music.] [male newsreader's voice over:] Welcome to the RGRNCA newsflash and information break. [Newsreader, in the studio:] A strange series of event is once again underway. A troll, hailing from alt.fan.karl-maden.nose, has, in one fit of uselessness, started posting stuff to the group. However, he also crossposts it to hell and back. (Photograph - showing random felines and people with big noses.) [Newsreader:] One of the scourges of the usenet are the folks known only as 'meowers' and 'nosers'. The damned part of it is that these losers are just plain annoying - there's absolutely no use for their tiresome ravings. [Newsreader:] The Commander has seen these 'nosers' before in action - and knows exactly what to do to them. (WWWWolf being interviewed by the PropagandaDept's folks) [WWWWolf:] Recently, they tried to invade alt.lifestyle.furry and some other newsgroups as well... But as anyone can see *now*, they're gone. So... The best thing you can do is to ignore them. Completely. Killfile the threads they're trying to start. They will go away sooner or later. [Interviewer, from outside the picture:] Why are they here? [WWWWolf:] Beats me. Maybe they're just getting pissed off when we're enforcing the newsgroup charter and they're no longer allowed to piss off folks in this group. Don't see any logic in it, though. [Interviewer:] Can *these* trolls be burned? [WWWWolf:] Don't try that... flames just encourage them. And if you flame, you definitely shouldn't cross-post it to hell and back yourself - be careful how you're replying. [Interviewer:] Any inside jokes you might want to tell? [WWWWolf:] "Karl is a dog." Well, I have no clue whom that is referring to, or what's so funny about it - you might want to ask Rousku/Kivimäki about that. (Back to the studio.) [Newsreader:] The citizens are advised to stay inside the cafe (besides, it's cold outside in the verandah), a)pply the killfiles, #chat softly and carry a +6 two-handed sword until the trolls are gone. The engineering troops are mining the area around the cafe, so it would be wise to follow the directions if you don't want to blow yourself to the kingdom come. That's all for today. - Signed, WWWWolf of rec.games.roguelike.nethack CR3T1NZ advisory (Our battlecry: "Wrong Newsgroup, pal!") -- WWWWolf (known to some as Urpo Lankinen), just another lupine technomancer ICQ:4291042 -==(RGRNCA)==-
