Autcsrgv.135 net.games.trivia utcsrgv!jrc Tue Feb 23 14:02:19 1982 Annoying Answers I wish people would stop sending answers to trivia questions to net news and would send their answers to the person posing the questions instead. I'm getting sick of reading the questions and then the answers from seventeen different people in the same news session (cf. Arlo Guthrie's motorsickle). Instead, I suggest that in future only the author of the questions answer them in a single news item at least a week after posing them. If s/he wants to acknowledge particularly early/good/unique answerers, s/he can do so in that single message. I know I'm not the only one bothered by this. Thanks. ----------------------------------------------------------------- gopher://quux.org/ conversion by John Goerzen of http://communication.ucsd.edu/A-News/ This Usenet Oldnews Archive article may be copied and distributed freely, provided: 1.
