Look, Paradise Hotel, and the Election are both very temporary! And ONE of
those is very important for the Well Being of Newfoundland and Labrador
People, so yeah talking about the Election actually affects your life and
your childrens lives.

I've been reading this newsgroup for YEARS now, and anyone else that's been
lurking/reading/trolling/posting will know that Hockey Talk Dominates the
group 3/4's of the year.

Why NOT have nf.hockey or nf.sports? You don't want one? I'd think with
all the talk about hockey here, you'd WANT your own newsgroup. I would if I
was into it.

This Hockey Pool thing is Absolutely Outrageous, you should do your draft
picking and all that through mass emails. You don't see people here playing
Dungeons and Dragons or creating "Survivor" Pools on the Newsgroup.

Actually I'm not against hockey, I'd just like to see a sports group cause
it's time for one. That's why you expand into creating other newsgroups,
because there are so many posts about a certain subject over a long period
of time! Otherwise, there'd really only be one newsgroup for the whole
world. One giant world.general! That sounds good...Right?
if it bothers you that much set up a news rule to block any posts with the
word HOCKEY or POOL in them. I hate paradise hotel and i could care less
for the election talk but ya dont see me freakin out.
If you have any positive or negative opinions you'd like to discuss
regarding the forming of nf.sports, please, go to the nf.config
newsgroup
and voice your opinions there. I have issued a formal call in this
newsgroup
and in nf.config for the creation of nf.sports, and the commentary of
the
last couple of days does seem to indicate that there is sufficient
interest.
Please, head over to nf.config and express your views!!
Chris
block us.
If we had nf.hockey we would use it
but it is a newfoundland based hockey pool....it is a general
topic...so
how
is it out of place?
I agree its flooding the group, but until we get a group this is the
easiest
way, so you can block I guess?!
Ok it's that time of year again......when nf.general is bombarded
with
Hockey, Hockey, Hockey. This isn't a Hockey newsgroup, yet we have
people
making draft picks on the newsgroup for a fantasy league. Come on
guys,
use
a phone or EMAIL MAYBE?!?!?! Mass email each other, do you have to
post
all
the crap on nf.general??? And all the hockey talk to come, this
one's
traded, this one's knee is bad again, blah blah blah.
I'm all for your rights, and mine too...... PLEASE SOMEONE MAKE A
NF.HOCKEY
Newsgroup.
I am Sick of Hockey Talk on nf.general, and I am Canadian!

You're fighting a losing battle. There's too many people who will stand
up and _DEMAND_ da right to do whatever dey wants to because it's a free
world but mostly because they're too f--king ignorant to take the 2 or 3
seconds of brain power it requires to understand how news groups work.

i ahev no problem using a nf.sports or whatever. but it does not
exist!!!!!!so until that problem is rectified, thats it. we'll use
nf.general. how tuff is it to scroll past a few messages to read the ones
that interest you? or do as was suggested before, put a block on messages
containg 'hockey' or 'pool'? so why dont YOU take the 2 to 3 seconds of
brain power it requires to do that instead of pissing and moaning.
jesus....feet cold? papmer damp? bottle empty?

Gentlemen, if the shoe fits... I didn't call anyone ignorant. But I
must have hit a nerve or three.

If my knowledge of something so mundane is "superior", then what does
that make your knowledge?

I apologize if you're offended, but there are loads of sports groups out
there, I'm sure. Use em.

But again, you will insist you have the right to post whatever you want
to on a "general" group, because it's general, right?

BTW, hockey doesn't bother me at all.

You are right, it is general....and you are right, we can tlak about
whatever we want. And if given nf.sports we'll use that. but why should we
sign up to some other sports group?? It makes more sense to use one
targeted to Newfoundland...since the only people in the pool are
newfoundlanders
