Mac Forum / General / Networking / April 2008Google Groups Star Attack?
Hmmmm... I usually post to Usenet Groups thru my trusty usenet reader MT Newswatcher for Mac System 10.4.11. I check up on the posts in Google Groups. However, recently my "star rating" history has been deleted. I had several hundred ratings that 'disappeared' into thin air. Is it possible to 'delete' someone elses ratings, as in a cyber attack? Or... does Google do a wash-cycle? In article <gdeppe-D37335.21041622042008@[74.223.185.199.nw.nuvox.net]>, Coffee in Madrid <gdeppe@THISeastlink.ca> wrote: > Hmmmm...

Gp ask on Google and stop multi-posting. It was off-topic in comp.sys.mac.apps and it's off-topic here, too. It has nothing to do with comp.sys.mac.* AT ALL.  SignatureHelp improve usenet. Kill-file Google Groups. http://improve-usenet.org/ Please do not multi-post. If you send the same message to multiple news groups one at a time, it forces the rest of us to download your message multiple times. Also, it means if someone replies to one of your posts in one news group, the other places you posted the message will not see that reply! This is known as "multi-posting". If you want to post the same thing to multiple news groups, include all of the news groups in a single post in the "Newsgroups" line, separated by commas, like so: Newsgroups: comp.sys.mac.system, comp.sys.mac.apps That way when someone replies to your post in one group, that reply is seen in all other news groups to which you sent the post. This is called "cross-posting" and is the proper way to do it. SignaturePlease send all responses to the relevant news group. E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my very hungry SPAM filter. I do not read posts from Google Groups. Use a real news reader if you want me to see your posts.

The proper way to do it is to cross-posts to groups where the topic of the post is actually on-topic. comp.sys.mac.* groups are not the proper place to discuss the arcane workings of Google Groups.

Google Groups is f.cked, regardless. And this isn't on topic for comp.sys.mac.comm. SignatureCheers, Andy.
