Yep - people like Peter Alaca is a *big* part of the problem.
Inger's lack of common sense obviously does not free him from
*his* personal responsibilty to think before he crossposts a
followup.
If you read something crossposted to soc.history.medieval that
is not relevant to s.h.m, then why should *you* help worsen the
signal to noise ratio for *other people* reading s.h.m (or the
other groups) by *crossposting* your followups to soc.history.
medieval as well as the other groups ?
Same rule applies to me too, obviously.
So far, Eric Stevens and Peter Alaca has illustrated that
they failed to understand and apply the simple principle of
thinking before following up.
Let us see how many *other* dimwits feel a need to crosspost
follow-ups to a debate that *obviously* has nothing at all to
do with archaelogy, medieval history or nordic culture.
Grin,
Stein
