The Ten Types of Usenet Users



The Lurker -- Never posts, never replys just observes.

The Vulture -- Never posts, but ready and waiting to point out any fault in
your post.

The Knit Picker -- Never posts but will break down, question and analyze
your post until it is no longer funny.

The Poacher -- Never posts, but will reply to another post with a better or
different punchline, stealing the laugh.

The Flame Fodder -- Usually a newbie who asked a lame question, usually in
the wrong group. No mercy is shown.

The News Cop -- Only ever post to tell people they are in the wrong group
or to stop spamming etc.

The Wacko -- Will often post a message or joke which makes no sense. The
wacko will never post again. Strange.

The Spammer -- we all HATE the spammer!!!!

The Stealth Spammer -- Post Spams that need to be read before you can tell
its a spam.

The Hero -- This brave person often posts at the mercy of the Vultures,
Knit pickers and the Poachers.

Which are you?
