http://www.pinch.com/skin/docs/newsgroup/ The messages aren’t dated because I grabbed them from my newsreader’s saved .article files long after the messages had expired. Dunno why they aren’t in the net archive. They propagated and were verified on other servers at the time. Anyone thinking of sending out new control messages, please let me know. A booster message should have some items added about promotion and harassing or intentionally disruptive posts. We hadn’t envisioned such problems when drafting the first charter. I frequently offer a link to my posting guide, which contains a link to the charter, and what I believe to be the consensus policy of the group. I’ve yet to hear any serious objections to the content, other than that it’s tediously long and verbose (like my posts). http://www.pinch.com/skin/guide.html A tip of the hat to our friend Steve Krause who actually sent the first newgroup message for this group. Thanks, Steve! — Ed "keeper of the flames" Anderson

You are lost in usenet. This is an unmoderated alt group–no one is running it. Go here to find out where you are–it is not AOL: http://www.landfield.com/usenet/ and then come back and try again–maybe with something that makes sense.

Glad to meet you mister all powerful. I’ve not posted here in a while. The P causes me far less trouble than the PA and my struggle has been for pain control. But I sure would like it if you could tell me how you control an unmoderated alt newsgroup that I cannot even find a charter for here: ftp://ftp.isc.org/pub/usenet/control/ this is too funny.

Since you won’t be opening this, I may be wasting keystrokes, but let me explain my attitude. I come to this group to get relevant information regarding psoriasis. If you do some research beyond my two latest posts, you’ll see that I’m usually a reasonable poster, and I think I’m usually on topic. In the case of this thread, I’m just tired of seeing a small group of people continue to post off-topic messages because they feel they are persecuted by some evil entity controlling the newsgroup. In this case, the poster of the original message has, in the past, provided inaccurate and incomplete information which could be damaging to the unwary. I’m sorry if I’ve offended you but this annoys me. In the other post you refer to (I assume the hemp oil thread) I was challenging the accuracy of the statements made by the original poster. Instead of getting an intelligent response, I got vulgarity and non-information. I admit my reply was somewhat arrogant, but considering the language I was responding to, I felt it was justified. Again, sorry if you were offended, but I won’t apologize for speaking my mind.

Response:
i was one of the people who recommended mg217 as a good treatment. no i dod not have any financial interests in it. i get it off the shelves like everyone else. i like it beciase it made my skin soft and cleared up some of the scaling. it did not "cure me" but it helped a little bit. i do not appreciate giving someone an objective opinion about a product i have tried without being accused of trying to sell it.

At 9 bucks a jar it wouldn’t be much financial gain. MG217 is mentioned a lot because it’s carried by most drug stores and readily available. Personally, I didn’t find it to do anything more that any good moisturizing lotion does for me, even with the coal tar and sal acid. Scott —

Good point Janet. Obviously "the information is not being relayed due to the restrictions", actually translates to: "the wool is not being pullover people eyes because of good communication"… Scott —

And you shouldn’t have to put up with such nonsense, either. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: If you’re going to accuse someone of shilling for a product, have some real proof before you do so. Anyone can type (for example) "I think you’re suggesting MG217 because you sell the stuff." But how many who type such things have any proof? It’s *easy* to point the finger, but hard to back it up. On the other hand, we’ve seen people come into this newsgroup who wrote "I tried such-and-such, and my skin cleared right up!" They post a link to a Web site, and we find the same email address for contact information there. Now that’s real evidence. Those are the real shills, who aren’t welcomed here by most. And now a plea to almost everyone (but mostly lurkers): If you’ve tried something, and it worked for you, and you want to tell us about it, go right ahead. Tell us where you get it. Include Web links if you’ve got them. Don’t write "I don’t sell it." *Don’t*. It does nothing but add to the general level of fear and mistrust. Most of us will (or should) take it on faith that you’re just another happy customer. But… At the same time, don’t try to convince us it’ll work for us. Don’t use the word "cure." After all, too much "selling" and people will start to think you’re a salesman. Those who hear of something that they might want to try will do so without being "sold," and those who aren’t interested won’t try it no matter how much you proclaim its benefits. Also, be prepared for negative responses. The mildest of these will be along the lines of "I tried it, and it didn’t work for me." The strongest will be outright flames, but that’s part of what I’m trying to discourage with this post. In between, you might, find me or someone else similarly inclined saying that while we’re glad you found help, there’s some sort of evidence that the product is just a scam, or that there are cheaper alternatives. These are *not* personal attacks against you, nor a way of saying that you’re lying when you claim you found great relief. Not everything works for everyone. Some things seem to only work for a very select few. I am *genuinely* happy when anyone finds relief through just about any means. However, if that therapy is dangerous, or doesn’t work as well as someone claims, expect that I or someone else will speak up about it so that everybody else can make an informed decision based on the positives *and* the negatives. Hopefully, we can find ways to post these "negative" replies without even being thought of as being rude or insensitive. Anyway, I, for one, really like hearing "it worked for me" stories. And no honest person who posts one should have to put up with anyone even *implying* that they’re selling "it," nor should they feel obligated to write any sort of "I don’t sell this stuff" disclaimer. Those who are trying to move product will usually be found out, and those who accuse people of selling without any hard evidence are just being rude, and can be ignored. – Dave W. http://members.aol.com/psorsite/
