Simultaneous posting is when one posts *separate
messages* to a list of newsgroups. The messages
may in fact be indentical [sic], but each goes to only
one newsgroup.

Gans, who teaches freshman chemistry at NYU, quite obviously is so ignorant
he does not even understand the meaning of the simple English word
SIMULTANEOUS.
This post is SIMULTANEOUSLY posted to my friends and objects of
Entertainment in the newsgroups AHB, ATR, SMN, SCS, SGM, SHM and UMA.
That's Simulposting or Simul-Posting, whichever one prefers.
When one posts the same message to SEVERAL separate newsgroups in several
SEPARATE posts-- the posts are OBVIOUSLY NOT SIMULTANEOUS POSTS -- they are
SERIATIM POSTS -- and they create infinitely more CLUTTER and CONFUSION.
Gans, like his fellow mediocre academic, Todd Farmerie [taf], is locked into
the mole's-eye, parochial, small-minded, blinkered, academic view of the
isolated CLASSROOM MODEL OF COMMUNICATION and does not understand the far
more innovative, inclusive, cosmopolitan and complex, modern USENET MEDIUM
OF COMMUNICATION.
He is 74 years old -- and is an old dog not able to learn new tricks. taf
is far younger, but has an equally calcified and blinkered mind -- molded by
the CLASSROOM MODEL OF COMMUNICATION within which he works and lives.
Gans Also Suffers From Creeping Alzheimer's... 'Nuff Said.
Of course, his continuing to teach none-too-bright students at New York
University is wearing on Gans and degrades his intellectual capacity even
further.
Gans used to complain about his NYU students' idiocies, illogicalities and
sloppy thinking -- but regretfully stopped when I played his own complaints
back to him -- and others, including his own colleagues, told him he was
dragging down the reputation of NYU by telling us how dumb his students are.
So, it's a vicious cycle for Pogue Gans -- a steady spiral downward. BUT,
continuing Great Entertainment for US.
Further, it would be quite ridiculous and stupidly time-wasting to post an
IDENTICAL message to several different newsgroups, individually -- because
then the entire purpose of communicating with people of different walks of
life and bringing new points of view and new blood to bear on the issues
would be defeated since different folks in different newsgroups would not
see the responses of each other -- and FAR more DUPLICATIVE and OVERLAPPING
posts would be generated.
Ergo, MORE WASTED EFFORT, MORE CLUTTER and MORE CONFUSION would be the
RESULT. A Fool's Alternative... Pogue Gans's Alternative.
Pogue Gans, because he is both not very intelligent and also not very
imaginative, has obviously NOT thought this one through...
Par For The Course.
