China Travel Discussion List
Readers of rec.travel.asia with a particular interest in China may also
be interested in THE ORIENTAL-LIST. Now more than ten years old and with several hundred members, the list provides a forum for the discussion of travel in China, and across China's borders to the nearest major centres, such as Almaty, Bishkek, Islamabad, Kathmandu, Hanoi, and Ulaan Baatar. The Oriental-List accepts practical travel queries; discussions of the merits of individual destinations or routes; accounts of individual experiences; historical and cultural material relevant to China travel; reviews and notifications of other China travel resources (newsgroups, publications, websites, public lectures, etc); political, legal, and ethical matters to do with travel in China, and China travel news items. This list is moderated to keep it free from off-topic material, personal attacks, abuse, foul language, cross-postings, spam, or other trivia. It is intended to be supplementary to other sources, and does not accept queries easily answered by looking in a guide book, those in chat-room style, or overly vague. The answer to almost any China travel question can vary from month to month, and so the list maintains no archive, and regards published sources such as guide books as its FAQ file, dealing mainly in matters beyond the scope of such books. The Oriental-List is run entirely pro bono, carries no advertising, the list of members is not made available to any individual or third party organisation, and email addresses are stripped from all headers to prevent their exploitation. Members include those planning their first trips to China, experienced China travellers, China-based journalists and foreign residents, as well as the authors of several books on travel in China.

China Travel Discussion List
"Peter Neville-Hadley" kirjoitti elow... Readers of rec.travel.asia with a particular interest in China may also be interested in THE ORIENTAL-LIST. I doubt that. The homosexual has compromised any such efforts by this persistent spamming. Now more than ten years old and with several hundred members, the list provides a forum for the discussion of travel in China, and across China's borders to the nearest major centres, such as Almaty, Bishkek, Islamabad, Kathmandu, Hanoi, and Ulaan Baatar. Why do you keep telling this in rta? Use e-mail to notify people about this "group of yours" instead. Create an e-mail directory. Your brain is seemingly a bit strained. It doesn't work properly. You are punitively stupid. The Oriental-List accepts practical travel queries; discussions of the merits of individual destinations or routes; accounts of individual experiences; historical and cultural material relevant to China travel; What do you need such a forum for? rta does the job alright. You have lost a few marbles from your head. reviews and notifications of other China travel resources (newsgroups, publications, websites, public lectures, etc); political, legal, and ethical matters to do with travel in China, and China travel news items. This list is moderated to keep it free from off-topic material, personal attacks, abuse, foul language, cross-postings, spam, or other trivia. It This is just funny. What about rta then? Is it spam free too? You spam to rta in order to broadcast that there is a forum which is spam free. Buy a fresh piece of brain. Once again what do you need a "moderated forum for discussion on travelling in China" for? By all means establish such a group inside the usenet. All the required tools are readily available. In this fashion you don't have to spam in usenet to tell people that you have a "forum" outside usenet. Actually there is no reason to do so now. Tune your e-mail utilities. If you cannot do the job, ask someone to do it for you. Perhaps the reason for you not having done so by now is that it would violate usenet policies to spam by a group maintainer........... Well, your activities as they are set now do equally violate usenet policies............ is intended to be supplementary to other sources, and does not accept queries easily answered by looking in a guide book, those in chat-room style, or overly vague. The answer to almost any China travel question can vary from month to month, and so the list maintains no archive, and regards published sources such as guide books as its FAQ file, dealing mainly in matters beyond the scope of such books. The Oriental-List is run entirely pro bono, carries no advertising, the list of members is not made available to any individual or third party organisation, and email addresses are stripped from all headers to prevent their exploitation. This is a bit thick, don't you think. The faggot is pathetic. In that rudimentary entry page you advertise "travel guides": poorly written horse manure on China and Central Asia. True waste of paper and ink. My advice to you is: establish your moderated group in the usenet and stop harassing the subscribers of usenet group rec.travel.asia by this periodical and repetitive nonsense. Don't you believe the folks have deserved that. Anyways, I will report your ISP once again....... It will be one of the happier days when the homo is gone for good with this insane drivel. |

As if reporting to his ISP would do any good anyway. How many thousands of off-topic posts get uploaded every day? Does anyone really believe that ISP's have the time and resources to investigate every case like this? We're no longer back in the early days of the internet where bandwidth mattered, and people posting inappropriately had their difficult-to-obtain internet connection cut-off. There are so many news servers to post Usenet messages through and so many ways of accessing the internet these days that trying to stop any kind of spam by reporting individual people is a complete and utter waste of time. I'm amazed that Markku doesn't realise this. Chris |

If a million others were about to spam to rta it would be a bit noisy. Now it is just about dead. |

I'm amazed that Markku doesn't realise this. The faggot is spamming through one and the same server...... It is true that Canadian providers typically have somewhat peculiar idea on "freedom of speech". The oddball seems to be a co-author to one of these "travel guides". I just wonder how many subscribers to this group have bought a copy. |

Does anyone really believe that ISP's have the time and resources to investigate every case like this? That depends. If Peter were using a free Usenet provider, they would act promptly. I have reported many such cases in the past and always received a prompt answer that the wrongdoer's account had been deleted. -- Alfred Molon http://www.molon.de - Photos of Asia, Africa and Europe |

And no doubt the spammer opened another free account within a few minutes of the one you reported being cancelled. Unfortunately, with the way the internet is organised today, there's very little that can be done about these spammers other than to develop your own filtering system to try to minimise the amount that reaches your own computer. Reporting it is a complete waste of time. If it were that simple we wouldn't be seeing the huge amounts of spam clogging up everyone's mailbox that we do. Chris |

Not a very efficient way to spam. Unfortunately, with the way the internet is organised today, there's very little that can be done about these spammers other than to develop your own filtering system to try to minimise the amount that reaches your own computer. Reporting it is a complete waste of time. Not true if the spammer is using a free Usenet account other than Google Groups. If it were that simple we wouldn't be seeing the huge amounts of spam clogging up everyone's mailbox that we do. It is that simple, if the spammer uses a free Usenet account other than Google Groups. -- Alfred Molon http://www.molon.de - Photos of Asia, Africa and Europe |
