Newsgroup:

I tried to submit the .PDF to this newsgroup but the posting has never
arrived.

The small file is 4.185 kb.

If anyone knows how I can submit the file let me know, otherwise you have to
download the full published version of my thesis from:
http://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/available/etd-11142005-193955/ this file
includes a few movie files and why it is so big at 52 MB.

I can also send the small version to your email address if you give it to
me. Not sure if I can ask or suggest that. sorry if am not allowed. New to
newsgroups.

Sincerely,
Artist

You will need to collaborate in those areas I mentioned, which involve
writing skills, no matter how talented you may be in design.

It's pretty much anarchy (ha!) in newsgroups, the only rules you need to
follow are rules of etiquette and even those are just if you don't feel like
being an asshole today.

FYI (and I am not calling you an asshole, and since you're new) top posting
is considered bad etiquette as it messes up the general natural reading of
posts. Better to post after the stuff so we can see what your responding
to. Used to be that people would snip messages when they got too long, but
that was mostly because of bandwidth, so it's not much of a big deal,
scrolling wheels took care of that :). The rest can be had in the FAQ which
I hope someone will kindly post, as it is always good for a laugh. I've
been enjoying the discussion here because I considering finding a new place
to work too. This place I am at now just consistently sets itself up for
failure, and I don't want to be here when it all goes down.

Hi Edgar,

And thank you for the heads up.

Can you please tell me what top posting is? I jsut write a response right
after reading a post or hit reply to a post. Is this not correct?

thanks,
Artist.

It's ok if you are basically making one coherent statement that is not
necessarily referential to what follows.

Yes

I dislike having to scroll through long threaded mostly empty posting
just to arrive at....a one liner. I tend to killfile those who feel
like subjecting me to too much scrolling. It only takes a minute to
trim posts and is polite.

Hmm, there are numerous netmanners faqs and the USENET itself has one.

In terms of the PDF suggestion by "Artist", for example, the Usenet FAQ
says that no files except plain text should go on the Usenet except in
designated binary netgroups.

I don't really mind it as much anymore, but of course it is nice to trim, as
long as you keep the context of what has been said.

I was referring more along the lines to the alt.architecture FAQ, which I
assume you ahve not read yet.
