2.10 What are all these off-topic discussions doing here?
In general, rec.arts.dance is a rather polite, literate, and
informative group. The regular posters like to think that this gives
them the right every once in a while to drift into only marginally
dance-related topics. If you think the information level is momentarily
at a low, don't complain, but show us by example what kind of posts you
would like to read.
There is another source of off-topic material on this and other
newsgroups: some people find it necessary to offer their services all
over the net, whether their post is relevant to the newsgroup or not.
Such posts constitute net abuse, but are unfortunately hard to stop.
You will notice that most of them fall in the following three
categories: telephone sex and dating services, Make Money Fast schemes,
and political diatribes. Don't complain on the list, because the author
most likely will not check for responses. As a matter of fact, the
apparent author is probably a forgery, so there may very well be no
place at all to direct your complaint. That's the way it is. I don't
like it either.
