Usenet convention, not mine. You spoilt a thread that had not had a
complaint until you.

You know what I mean. I took you for someone sensible, I was obviously
mistaken.

Don't bother to reply.

Cite, please? Please provide some evidence rather than just "everybody
knows" or similar.

Here's mine: [url]http://foldoc.org/?query=newsgroup[/url]

<57g802F2d5sogU1@mid.individual.net> was not a complaint?

Obviously? You are now saying that I am not sensible because my opinion
differs from yours?

You want the last word?

How about [url]http://www.usenet.org.uk/[/url]

I don't see the word "forum" there at all. I do see the word "newsgroup"
quite extensively though.

As I can't resolve that, I have no idea. But I hadn't seen anything that I
would regard as a complaint until you piped in.

It should be obvious to you. I suspect that you are deliberately
misinterpreting what I said, although I won't press the point.

Not particularly, but I'd expect you to think that, given the tone of your
previous replies. You have always come across to me as a reasonably
balanced person, now you are just putting yourself in the same category as
Ron Chew and his ilk.

I'm disappointed. Reply or not, as you choose, but don't expect me to be
civil to you in the future.

It doesn't say anything about the use of the word forum to describe
newsgroups being banned?

I am not saying they cannot be described as newsgroups, that would be
foolish. I am saying that the word forum would also correctly describe them.

It doesn't mention the word forum *at all*.

But not on Usenet.

Or someone would have done so by now, given the time Usenet has existed.

That was a correction, not a complaint. And nobody else complained about
it, not even the person it was addressed to. So why did you..?
