    There never really was -any- flaming here except perhaps when you
started calling me a racist.

I've found a site where you can start discussion groups for free. The site I
found is under german law which found forbid certain things. Could such
discussion groups a solution ?

For crying out loud!

Give it a rest!

I abandoned p.o-t to avoid this stuff.  I don't appreciate having to read 
it in another group now that your playground has been closed.

I will not be responding to any replies to this message.

Bye for now,
     Jamie.

You don't mean comp.graphics.rendering.raytracing do you? It is far from 
dead...
My ISP's heirarchy doesn't contain a comp.graphics.raytracing...

comp.graphics.raytracing was the forerunner of c.g.r.r.. It is still
officialy chartered but long since abandonded. My ISP carries it but
there may be many that don't because the posting frequency there is
so small that it is not worth carrying. If it became active you could
probably get your ISP to add it to your available groups list however.

Right now my ISP is showing zero messages for that group. The last
several I have seen posted there were spam. Not one on-topic post
in over 6 mo..

Like I said people could probably discuss anything they want there
and no one would ever notice let alone care.

    I always chuckle at what this sort of statement discloses about people.

I was heaping scorn upon Matt's ideas about Australian law.

dont think so, we would very quickly end up crossing the line in response to
a troll.
