RTL is still one of the nicer (if no longer the nicest as we used to say)

interesting, and outgoing people I have seen on usenet.   They also are the
some of the least tolerant of outsiders, and are quick to rip newbies to
shreds.  For that matter go into a purely scientific newsgroup.  Academics

Personally, I find rasfwrj _more_ entertaining... I tend to skip the
on-topic bits, tho. <recklessly thrown open robes and all>

However, I think It's not quite so bad as it used to be, as far as
ripping newbies apart is concerned. And, most of it, comes when these
newbies are _not_ willing to learn, and continue to offend. I'm
thinking of "student", who changed email adress at least 6 times in
the time s/he posted there, to avoid killfiles, and continued to spout
offensive behavior. Eric D. Laurain, who after a month posted that his
little brother had had access to his comp. One or two others I can't
think of the name of.

*Hmm... I can't crosspost this between rasfwrj and lugnet.. darn. :)*
