What's with fairly recent Modern Library prices?

Before the reposted material was posted, the Current Views Column of my Newsreader was filled with posts with the following thread titles. [snip] Now it isn't. The problem is that your repostings show up on my newsreader as new postings in threads I've been following. I open the thread, expecting to find new material, and there's none there. I do it a dozen times and I begin to get a bit weary... Also, your idea doesn't really solve the problem. Unless (as you apparently have) they have a newsreader that allows them to view the latest postings, as opposed to the default setting by thread, the first thing most people accessing this group are going to see will still be the offensive postings. To clear your newsreader of offensive threads, why not check the "ignore thread" option, and they'll just disappear? John http://rarebooksinjapan.com |

These are more than enough to dissuade any casual readers from wanting to read any more Now it isn't. I can only assume that you yourself are an imposter, adopting the identity of a regular poster on this NewsGroup, simply in order to adopt an abusive tone and cause even more dissention on this group. I think you were trying to be helpful, but the result was only annoying, not to mention a violation of copyright law. (The reason it's OK to repost others words on Usenet under most circumstances is because you're adding commentary, which is permitted under the Fair Use doctrine.) Everyone here has already read everything you reposted within the last few days and opening post after post of old stuff with no new material was not an improvement. At least with the junk posts, I didn't have to bother opening them at all. The way to improve the overall quality of what you see in this newsgroup is to add new posts on book-collecting related topics. Do you have any comments or questions on book collecting?

I'm going to open confront you (an imposter). Just who are you, anyway? If you're a legitimate member of this group, why are you hiding your identity? Accusing R. Totale of being the problem, shows your motive. Kris |

As this only gives such people the recognition they so desperately crave. Or if, despite this, the temptation is still too great, then please remove all crosspostings and check any follow-ups which may have been set before replying. As this at least should prevent too many other malcontents from being drawn in. Thank you. |

Violation of copyright - give me a ****ing break! Maybe I'll sue Google News for making big bucks of all my old posts - that'll show 'em! Nevertheless, reposter is proving to be an annoying idiot - kinda like Yammy! |

What, what what? (try to imagine Kyle's mom on South Park saying that) Dissention in RCB - never - you lie like a rug! This is a peaceful place where everyone gets along in perfect harmony. Never a flame war or unkind word. You must be thinking of some other group. |
