From: Mark Datko Newsgroups: alt.fan.pratchett Subject: [I] Growing pains of a newsgroup (filk) Date: Tue, 6 Feb 2001 16:23:05 -0000 It may be me, but this esteemed arena of varied and occasionally entertaining posts seems, since the new year to have more than its usual share of vitriol and ill feeling. Since I seemed to have received some of this in RL recently and paranoia is rapidly setting in thought I come up with a small filk. (Expect the newsgroup is getting ready to become a teenager ) we dont need no moderation we dont need no thread control no dark sarcasm on the newsgroup old farts leave newbies alone hey, old farts leave newbies alone all in all its just another plonk in the thread all in all its just another plonk in the thread let us show some toleration let us have some netiquette newbies lurk a little please hey, newbies lurk a little please all in all its just another plonk in the thread all in all its just another plonk in the thread Mark Datko (hippo)
