(only 4 posts today) I'd rather see four original posts than 40 reposts of stuff I've already seen. The newbies may think it's all fun, but for those who have already seen all that several times before it's just a waste of time. JRO is a comedian who keeps telling the same old jokes over and over again to the same audience.

Then I can only conclude that you have exceptionally lousy news feed. Lets see what Deja has to say about your claim: 00/04/05 43 posts 00/04/06 26 posts 00/04/07 49 posts 00/04/08 38 posts 00/04/09 30 posts 00/04/10 39 posts 00/04/11 43 posts And before you start saying that's all JRO's doing, here's the week before that: 00/03/28 11 posts 00/03/29 2 posts (huh? I don't remember a day being 00/03/30 30 posts *that* slow(!?)) 00/03/31 17 posts 00/04/01 29 posts 00/04/02 27 posts 00/04/03 36 posts Sure, a lot less than the 60-100 posts a day that we're all used to, but also a lot more than your claim of 0-4 posts a day (Hmmm... what are the odds that you will actually see *this*?). > >The newbies may think it's all fun, but for those who have already > >seen all that several times before it's just a waste of time. > > I think you show _very_ little consideration for the newbies then. Remember that > you have been a newbie once too! Yes, I do remember that. That was when I had much fun going through all the Big Web Galleries (before I got to the point that 8/10 of all ascii pictures I saw on the web were already in my collection...). A couple of months later I made my first posts to the group. It didn't take me long to figure out that certain pictures (e.g. Meriday in the Morning and certain collections of roses, dragons, cows, Star Wars pictures, etc) were old news. > >JRO is a comedian who keeps telling the same old jokes over and over again to the > >same audience. > > No, the audience changes.

It was funny - the first time I saw it, three years ago. It is still funny - sitting on his homepage, but not when it's re-posted here for the seventh time. If I want to read a good old book [see old pictures by Artist X] I go to the library [Artist X' homepage]. If I want to read today's news [see new pictures] I buy a newspaper [read a newsgroup]. Reading this newsgroup during the last few days has been like turning on the TV to see the news and finding nothing but re-runs of "*M*A*S*H*" or "Falcon Crest" or "Magnum" at the times and in the channels where the TV guide says you're supposed to find today's news. There's nothing wrong with those shows in themselves, but they are not news. -- (, http://www.ludd.luth.se/~vk/cgi/asciichat/ /|__--__ . __--__ |\ '__ /|\ _{ _ `.' / `.,_ _________ | _________ _,.'

He has a homepage (actually, he has several). Several people have included his cartoons in their web collections. There is no need to post them here again and again and again.

Why don't you follow American TV's lead and use the phrase "all new!" in the subject heading of your postings of the one or two new ones so that the people who have already seen your reposts several times will know to look at those.

It doesn't matter how somebody makes something sound or how much somebody disagrees with somebody else about something, it's still rude to post in public things that were said privately in email, especially when the person who said it explicitly asked that it not be posted in public. JRO has done that sort of thing, more than once, to more than one person. > Yo me it doesn't matter whether this is usenet or RL, if you find something that > you think someone is doing something the wrong way, then show them how it's > supposed to be done, no matter how often you have to show it. That's what I'm doing: I do not repost, repost, repost the same old pictures again and again and again. I did make one post a couple of months ago with a lot of old material. That's one post, not 100 (I could easily have posted that exact same material as 100 posts, possibly more). -- (, http://www.ludd.luth.se/~vk/cgi/asciichat/ /|__--__ . __--__ |\ '__ /|\ _{ _ `.' / `.,_ _________ | _________ _,.'
