Monday night Seinfeld

Maybe because of part of the action being set in an airport? Seems a somewhat obscure reason to me.

But I chose not to. *yawn* Suit yourself - perfectly valid crosspost, if you ask me. Why not help people on another newsgroup?

I don't have time to 'explain' things to twits...

homerr..

Actually, it *was* a valid crosspost. It concerned the airing of a Seinfeld episode on British TV, and it was posted to the Seinfeld group and a group about UK TV in general.

Thanks Dave. We often discuss Seinfeld on uk.media.tv.misc, the most lively UK television group, as the way the show is treated by the BBC appals the fans amongst us. I was merely trying to help out a friend who needed information on the show. It's a shame to discourage the spirit of helping each other that exists, in the main, on Usenet. Maybe "homerr" was just having a bad day. ;-)

You're too kind... for a Brit!! PS.. Thank HRH for me for knowing the words and singing our National Anthem. Very impressive... especially since Hillary Clinton didn't

It was moving for all of us, that day. The shock was still so fresh in everyone's minds. We all sang "Star Spangled Banner" that day, each and every one of us, whether we knew the words or not. And "America The Beautiful". And "God Bless America".

Didn't notice that. How odd.

And a great big, grapefruit-induced wink straight back atcha, H! ;-)

"Pith can fly, Jerry!

I'm a big sports fan, baseball and football mostly, I watch a lot. Last weekend, every game was prefaced by a ceremony of some sort. They all followed a similar pattern; honoring the "brave men and women" (not to make light, but the word 'brave' *invariably* preceded 'men and women' each and every time), displaying our colors, a moment of silence, then renditions of at least two, and often three of the songs listed above, and I'll tell you this. I teared up every single time. Even tonight, I was watching the beginning of the Marlins-Braves game, and I began weeping slightly during the Anthem. I don't know how long this will last, and honestly in a wierd way, I don't really want it to stop, but all I can say is I can never listen to those songs the way I used to ever again. Even now, just typing this, I can feel my eyes getting a little moist.

I think Hillary's getting a bad rap. I saw the speech and I saw her half interested, as though she was distracted or maybe didn't want to be there. She wasn't clapping enthusiastically like all the other Senators were. I thought to myself, now is not the time to play party politics. I was disappointed in her.

Then I heard that she was there on two straight days of no sleep after visiting the site in Manhattan, and that the smell of the decomposing bodies caused her to retch several times during the 'tour'. I figured that after what she had been through, her just being there in the building had to be good enough.

Dave (never more proud to be American.)

I think it's fair to say that 99.9 per cent of Brits have never been more proud to call America our friend and ally. We salute you.

I think all the outpouring of support from around (the decent) world comes from the fact that the terrorists picked on New York City. Of all the American cities this is one that is a cosmopolitan "world city" not simply an American one. An attack on NYC is, in some way, an attack on all of us.

Had they hit Chicago, Houston, Denver, etc... there would have been sympathy but not the heartfelt connection to the victims, and contemp for the perpetrators, we, all over the world, feel for this act.

I was thinking about that a week ago and wanted to post it because I think the appeal of Seinfeld, also using NYC as a "character" in the episodes is a reason the series appeals to so many in other countries.

Yeah.. mumble.. humble.. I know.

I'm just very anti-crossposts on principle only. It doesn't take much effort to copy and repost.. the alternative being making a decision 'every' time.. and being wrong 'sometimes'. If one 'never' crossposts.. one 'never' slips up. So there!!

Besides.. I was probably reacting to the "yawn".... lol.

Ya know, I'm very glad you posted this response. When I read your recent posts, you just didn't seem like the homerr we've come to know and love. :-)

I dunno, I think there's a definite time and place for crossposting. Just a few weeks ago, someone referring to Kramer's cigars asked about the ring measurements. Not knowing myself, I crossposted the question to alt.smokers.cigars and we got our answer within about a half-hour.

Also, if I may continue playing devil's advocate, sometimes it's nice to get a different group's opinion. For example, I wouldn't see anything wrong with a post that deals with a particular social aspect of "Seinfeld" being crossposted to a sociology newsgroup. It's possible that the best insight might come from someone who's never even seen the show.

Yeah. That could easily be a 'button pusher'.

Dave (Yawn.)
