Rants & Whines Dodo sightings!

Dodo sightings! You just thought this creature was extinct, not me, I come in contact with it regularly, I've begun a tagging program to track their migration. :)

dodo: "...it is certainly a breach of the Netiquette, policy as distributed by Google Groups before they were taken over by Yahoo Groups."

me: "err, no, Google Groups has nothing to do with Yahoogroups, two separate companies, neither was taken over. Yahoo bought *eGroups*, not Google Groups. Google Groups is usenet newsgroup postings, totally different thing, goes back years before mailing lists. And Yahoo isn't obligated to any guidelines or netiquette that eGroups had anyways."

Dodo's response was to tell me I'm wrong because he started a group at Google and it was now at Yahoo. (I dunno what he did at Google but he sure didn't start a Yahoogroup.) He's an Aussie so he speaks English (and I've always found Aussies to be intelligent folk, some of my best friends are Aussies! :)), but I guess he figures anything with the word "group" in it must all be connected and run by the same people...

The overall topic was crossposting, he was pissed that he'd hit "reply all" to a message that was crossposted and he didn't notice that his reply would go to tons of groups he's not a member of and he's getting all these bounces now.

His last brilliant comment was:

"Only ignorant people cross post"

Dodo!
