  • WTF!

    From Folderol@3:770/3 to All on Wed Dec 22 17:04:14 2021
    I thought this newsgroup was a technical forum connected with a novel small computer. Various uses, ideas and problems.

    It seems I was wrong, and it is in fact an extreme version of UK politics - combined with conspiracies-R-us.

    If this is so, I'll drop the group soon and try to find one concerning said small computer :(

    My newsreader has an "Ignore thread" and "Ignore sub-thread" option.

    You thought correctly.

    It seems I was wrong, and it is in fact an extreme version of UK politics
    - combined with conspiracies-R-us.

    There's a lengthy crossposted thread poking it's nose in here, it
    will pass. There's another thread about batteries and e-ink calendars as applied to said small computer, and one about the threads in this newsgroup.

    Folderol,

    It seems I was wrong, and it is in fact an extreme version of UK
    politics -
    combined with conspiracies-R-us.

    I guess having to deal with being inside all the time due to covid makes
    some people a bit barmy.

    If this is so, I'll drop the group soon and try to find one concerning
    said small computer :(

    If-and-when you find (a moderated) one let me know.

    Regards,
    Rudy Wieser

    I'm curious what thread you're referring to with conspiracies and
    politics. Eternal September doesn't seem to have this thread.
