Mindless banter WAS: Strengths & Weaknesses of D20

This group does seem to thrive when being adversarial.
I was amazed how many msg. I had with the same subject!
The olden days were before I joined the list.  Some of the best threads now seem to be born out of a flamewar.  

{sand by for bitch}
Although, I wish once they get WAY off topic they would change the subj line.  So I can delete the stuff if I get tired of it.
(I read it this time, kinda like a traffic accident!  Ya gotta take a peek.)

Changing the subject line is something that might or might not happen.

*Asking* people to change the subject line here is *dangerous*.  There
is just too much membership overlap between here and the
scary.devil.monastary.  (And if you don't know that last reference,
don't ask.  Just cruise usenet looking for a group whose intials are
the same, but ROT-13'ed.)

Who would have thought that GMAST would be full of

You know, just after I posted that, I knew it didn't work right and
wondered who would catch it first.  I figured it would be Karen, with
you in second place.

Now I just have to figure out *where* my mind was and see if I can
track it down from there. . . .

Uh, no, I didn't have a clue what you were talking about, so I figured 
I'd keep my mouth shut and be considered wise.  I assumed *you* 
had a clue what you were talking about.

So... you're saying there was no newsgroup, or you just got your 
ROT13 confused, or what?

There is a newsgroup referred to as scary.devil.monastary but that is
not based off of a ROT-13 of the group's initials.  I'm not sure why
at the time of my first post my brain miss-fired and I said that.

And I was sure you would know of it, as you'd fit right in there.  The
froup is often also known as a.s.r (the correct initials).

Also a group you should find, rather than advertise

Which is why I was trying not to advertise it.

Of course, now everyone who doesn't know what you're talking about is 
curious, and could get themselves into trouble by searching for more 
information.

I think this falls under the "find" catagory.  And yes, "trouble" is
probably one way to put it.

Have fun.

Oh, *that*.  (Yeah, now s.d.m. rings a vague bell.)  No, I figure 
between alt.folklore.urban (which has roughly the same "morays") 
and Slashdot (which fulfills the RDA of geekishness), I should let 
Paul Tomblin have *some* place he can go without seeing me...

Ditto, although I do recognize it by the initials now.  Figured it was 
some obscure fidonet.q-something.zealot group, in typical 
groupname redundancy.  I don't do usenet.  Drop in now and again 
to remind myself why not.  Same with gmast, except I drop in 
whenever Silver pipes one of my crackpot threads here.  Might 
stay this time.
