My problem with viewing the article wasn't lack of a login. I had a problem
reading it because visibility was spotty due to the size of the Alstrom
brothers' heads.

Almost as large as their bellies

But they do a lot for what I call quality beer!

Gave it a start, but then just lost interest. NYT article though,
clearly an achievement, regardless of what one thinks of the
Älströms or whoever they are. I can't help but notice that
the one in back bears a bit of a resemblance to a certain beer &
whisky writer I know.

Such as? Oh right, now we know what's in the refrigerators of a bunch
of socially-deficient boys. Any discussion of substance inevitably
feels the wrath of their delete finger.

They put on nice festivals, yes.

Aside from that, what do they do?

Beer discussion fora predate the Goats (browse the rfdb archives for how the
Alstroms got that name, circa May/June 2000). This was one of them. They've
done nothing special in that regard. And, given the various sheannanigans
they've pulled with that venue, they're doing nothing to promote that.
Unless somehow suppressing dissent is somehow positive for American beer
culture.

Of course, there's the ultimate irony of people who have insisted for years
about how dead Usenet is continuing to come back to Usenet in hopes of
getting some ball-scratching.

In the end, Phil, your tool of choice is to use the kill-filter on
your newsreader and be done with it. As long as there isn't any
pointless nym-shifting going on, you'll never see 'em.

And if their posts get

NO

RESPONSE

AT

ALL

that's as good a sign as any that they're being ignored.

Kill filing doesn't let people know that their messages are undesired.

How will someone know how others care without feedback? Do you reply
to every single post that agree with?

Email. Otherwise you're adding yet more noise.

I'm wondering if Phil is being deliberately obtuse, or is just kinda
dense at times.

But ... he's been plonked. If he replies to a plonk, it's definitely
the latter, and if he hasn't figured out yet that killfiling very much
*does* send a message, he's never gonna get it.

No big loss either way.
