I didn't know that Thailand was a town in the USA or Canada.

Well that's a problem then, isn't it? Who cares what you don't know? This
response has been made way too many times over way too many years to have
any point behind it.

Mary that's sarcasm. This newsgroup's charter designates it for
discussion about travel in the USA or Canada. While it may be an
unmoderated group, it's good netiquette to be on topic. A survey about
travel in Thailand is netiquetticly rude.

More effective than just being sarcastic is to complain to the
powers-that-be. To do that, look at the net headers of the post for a
"Complain to" email address. No special form or format is needed - just
make sure that when you send your complaint that you do include those net
headers. The net headers can be obtained by (in IE) clicking "File,"
"Properties," and then "Details" I just copy all those headers, forward
the original offending post, paste the headers on the top of the forwarded
post, copy/paste the "Complain to" email address to the "To:" address line
of the forwarded post, and then click "Send."

Does it work? Well, all those "cmsg cancel" posts I do believe are the
results of such complaints. And of course - the more such complaints, the
more credible the complaints.

Thanks, I wasn't aware of this option.

Evidence that such complaining does work - I complained as described to the
"Complaints to" addressee on the post "Resort rates going down in Caribbean
because of financial meltdown?" here in rec.travel.usa-canada. Shortly
thereafter, I received an email stating:

"this is not an abuse for me. which is your problem about this article?"

This receipt indicates - to me at least - that such complaints are
effective. And in another newsgroup - rec.equipment.large-format that I
frequent (and where I learned of this complaint process) we as a group have
together over time weeded out such non-relevant posts.

My response to this "this is not an abuse for me..." was straightforward -

"Very simple and basic - newsgroup in which you posted is
rec.travel.usa-canada. Make a cogent, reasoned, concise, and logical
argument that the Caribbean is in either country and I'll make a public
apology in that newsgroup. If you have any doubt as to the location of the
Caribbean as versus either country....consult a good geographical resource."

Without too much of a stretch, the poster could point out that Puerto
Rico and the US Virgin Islands are both US territory, and both in the
Carribean.

*************
ah yes - the infamous inclusion/exclusion argument. If the poster had meant
sole inclusion of Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands to the exclusion of
all those non USA and non Canadian locales in the Carribean, he certainly
could have well said so in his post. And had he done so in his post, then I
certainly would not have complained. But I respectfully submit that he did
not do so in his post. And in not doing so in his post, he has not excluded
all those non USA and non Canadian locales...has he?
