• mosquitos in Brigadoon

    The crazy thing actually is that this group survived as long as it did. The rest of Usenet was overrun by spam 20 years ago.

    Brigadoon is a musical of the late 40s, and the name of an an imaginary idealized town, a kind of Scottish Shranga-La.

    Sure, I saw the movie when I was a child. I had a girl-crush on Cyd

    Sort of like our little
    paradise in the byroads of Usenet. The mosquitos are the spammers who
    have
    shown up.

    I believe Bob's point was the spammers are a nuisance. but not worth a lot of attention.

    Sure. Plus the general sense of a village unaffected by time.
    Walking through the dead forest of Usenet, an untouched rec.music.50s formerly seemed to rise out of the mist.

    Thanks for the wonderful figurative word/phrases to describe our
    newsgroup currently, which is the "use of literary devices,
    techniques, and figures of speech to heighten sensory response and add
    meaning and/or impact."
