You can gate crash these events but let me tell you one thing: you will
only meet very old people talking rubbish all the time. If you are my
age (I am 32) you'll get bored with them. Some of then are now here
passing their last few days on this planet. I have bottles of Champagne
ready to be opened one by one when I read their obituaries.

Do you really want to travel all that way? I am UK and still I don't go
to these events never mind where they are.

You would be better off going to this one:

Good luck.

I'm not very old but I'm older than you. Why are you saying in UK live many old
people talking rubbish? I know old people that are very smart but they usually
don't go to those events. They have the same rights to write their texts as you
have the right to get drunk and have fun with 32 girls. If you're lucky you'll
feel old some day. In Spain they have sunshine and warm waters.

Two out of three authors... First we have "Good Guy" that doesn't know
its message includes formatting that is incompatible with UseNet. And
then "Larry Cooper" doesn't do UseNet formatting, either.

Since this group isn't included in Google Groups, maybe they are Google
Groups users stepping out of their box.

You haven't seen a pack of vultures hanging around in XP, Win7 and
Windows 8 newsgroups. They are in their 80s and all they do is post
useless stuff or insults people for asking questions which they don't
understand because English may not be the first language of the poster.

I can list them here but that means I'll need to open all my
kill-filters to find them. I don't see many of their posts now that
TB's filtering system is working very well indeed.

But in fact most experienced UseNet users do not insult others for bad
English. Most of us have been on the Internet for a long time and it's
an established Internet protocol to allow non-native English speakers
some slack.

But if you start insulting others, you might want to become self-aware
at least enough to know that your posting format is incompatible with
UseNet. And please do refrain from talking about your imaginary kill
file friend. That's just another sign of inexperience.

Yes, it looks like that to me too.

Although I almost never top-post, my view is different from yours. I
don't mind top-posting in reply to a short message, or to a message
that's been made short by adequate trimming. A top-posted reply to a
long message makes me scroll down to the bottom to see what it's
about, then back up to the top to read the reply.

So to me, "the most annoying thing on Usenet and in e-mail" is
inadequate trimming.

In fact, Google Groups users usually do not top post. I intentionally
top post when dealing with annoying posters, complaining will not help
you. Others usually have no control or don't know what they are doing.

Whatever annoys you... You should understand that complaining only helps
if the poster might not know what he is doing. Letting others know what
annoys you isn't really a good idea, otherwise.

Nothing annoys me in usenet, I realize that's only text, if you don't want, you
don't have to read. Never filtered any user. Real life is a little different.
There are people who make wrong things or the contrary of what you want on
purpose. Sometimes best thing to do is keep quite. To those people if you let
them know what you love, they won't give or try to do the opposite. I you say
something annoys you, they'll keep giving you ****.
