Watercooling enwsgroup ?
Hi!
Anothe discussion lead me to think that maybe it's time to create a new newsgroup for discussing watercooling issues. I'm now checking to see if there's a genuine interest in this before I enter the process of creating it. It will be a alt. based group, but I'm not 100% certain of the exact hierachy yet, this is why I'm looking to you for suggestions. I'm thinking: alt.comp.hardware.overclocking.watercooling alt.comp.hardware.watercooling I think the first obe is the better choise. Please mail me your 'vote' or alternative suggestion to and add any other suggestions and/or comments you might have on the issue. Best Wishes Thomas |

Watercooling newsgroup ?
First you should learn about cross-posting and why that is a bad idea; it is
especially bad to cross-post to six groups (one of the worst effects of cross-posting is the much longer decay time of opjectional posts and troll threads (c.f. in this newsgroup the 'Happy birthday America" troll.) THEN you should count the number of messages concerning watercooling in each overclocking newsgroup. Then you should calculate the number of water-cooling posts per day for all the overclocking groups and for each overclocking group. If you check the alt.comp.hardware.overclocking group you will find, over the last ten days exactly ONE thread on water-cooling (if you don't count your post and replies) containing nine posts. At that volume a separate newsgroup is not justified. It is better to keep discussion of water cooling consildated in a more active general over clocking newsgroup. Newsgroup servers may not carry a new alt* hierachy newsgroup - and if it is a low volume group ISP's may not add it even if requested. Try http://tgos.org/newbie/newgroup.html for more information on establishing an alt. newsgroup. Phil Weldon, "Thomas Andersson" wrote in message ... Hi!

The posting volume would be low, I don't see the point. There are good
watercooling forums at the major overclocking websites already. Like overclockers.com rms |

"Phil Weldon" wrote in message ... Second, for a technical newsgroup top posting is much more efficient - you can go directly to the NEW information without scrolling through the prior posts. This is especially helpful because in many cases the prior post will be relatively lengthy while the reply will be relatively short. Only if the poster is too lazy to chop away the irrelevant parts. This kind of laziness usually manifests in top posters, who quote EVERYTHING (including signatures and blank lines at the bottom). If you only want to post the new stuff, then DON'T QUOTE AT ALL -- chop off that bottom quote in a top post that only serves the purpose of eating up disk space, bandwidth and reduce retention -- after all, if you want the full text of the previous post, you simply go to the previous post. It's listed in the header of the reply post, and most newsreader will give you easy access to it. No regards, -- *Art |

Phil,
I couldn't agree more. I've been top posting for what seems forever, & if someone doesn't like it they can just ignore it or kill-file me. The same goes for replying cross-posted (in this instance replying to a cross posted message).

I am with you guys, posting at the bottom makes no sense to me. Why
force me to scroll through all the previous posts, the posts I just read, to get to the new reply? Get me to the new stuff quickly, so I like top posters. I believe netiquette dictates that either top or bottom posting is O.K. as long as it remains consistent throughout a thread: if people have been bottom posting you should continue the convention, if people have been top posting do likewise. Interesting debate... Koop "Herb Winston" wrote in message thlink.net... Phil, I couldn't agree more.
