OK, let's start at the basics. Do you know what Usenet is? Do you know
what a News Group is? How about a news server?

I just took a look at HULL, and the first thing I saw was this:

"The Hull LUG's membership consists of a wide ranging group of people
including programmers, web-designers, school administrators, students and
people with just an interest in Linux and computers. We have skills
ranging from 'newbie' to Linux experts who have interests including
print-publishing, graphics, networking, programming and just the
day-to-day activities of email, browsing the web and writing the
occasional letter."

Nowhere do I see any mention that the HULL SUSE FORUM is actually tapping
into the Usenet News Group "alt.os.linux.suse" or that the people
answering your questions are posting to "alt.os.linux.suse", not HULL.
Most of us never heard of HULL, until we started seeing a bunch of trash
posts showing up scattered all over hell, dirtying up our community. The
experts HULL is supplying, are us, the people using proper news readers,
that post using a set of standards, posting to proper Usenet servers,
being bushwhacked, by their trash, and without our permission. They are
the lowest form of posers, and leeches.

I sympathize with your problems, and am more than willing to help you
solve them, but I refuse to be knowingly used in this shoddy manner. Linux
has many dedicated news readers, as well as browsers with built in news
readers. If those lame, low-down, rotten, thieving, lying, cheating,
***, sons of bitches at HULL didn't strip the Usenet headers from the
messages, you'd know my news reader is Pan, (It says so on every message
I post) but then you'd also know the truth; you're being had, by a bunch
of worthless losers.

It's not your fault you got sucked in. It is your fault, if you don't act
to remedy the situation.

You're running SUSE Linux, so look on your menu, under Internet --> News,
and you'll see which news readers you have installed. Find a Usenet server
that you can post to. Your ISP probably has one. There are also free ones
out there, that Google will help you locate. Type in "Usenet free
servers". better yet, use this;

DON'T use Google Groups; that's almost as bad as HULL; find a real news
server. Set up the news reader of your choice, download the groups list,
type linux in the search box, and subscribe to alt.os.linux.suse. Download
the headers, and you'll see the mess that HULL has made, in our living
room, of your posts. Once there, post away, and welcome to the group. When
I see a header from you, with the name of a real news reader, instead of
the HULL horse ***, I'll be right there to greet you, and help get you
going. 'Til then;

I am out of here.
