  Hi, John. Ken's post from 02-Jan-2001, message-ID:
<3A52B9EC.577C3B2E@pacbell.net> pretty much sums it up.

  Also, I saw your other post in this group concerning an
'interpretation' of Australian law posted by an individual - hopefully
you were just kidding and not actually accepting that the law was as
that person distorted it.

Is there a newsgroup in the official usenet that those debating povvers
could all agree to congregate on. The News Admin had suggested this once
but no one was willing to give up flaming and no one suggested a
specific group.

I know there's nothing exactly like it in existence, but we need
something like:
  computers.graphics.raytracing-flame.wars.

Searching forums in deja, the closest ones are:
 comp.sys.amiga.advocacy
 sci.electronics.design

Depends on the flamewar.  For evolution, there's talk.origins.  For gun
control, try talk.politics.guns.  For abortion, there's talk.abortion.
For Windows-vs-Linux, choose one or both of comp.os.ms-windows.advocacy or
comp.os.linux.advocacy.  For various other topics that have cropped up here 
from time to time, try talk.politics, talk.politics.misc, or 
talk.politics.mideast.  Make sure to read the FAQs of these groups before
posting, of course, and try to abide by whatever the group norms seem to
be.

comp.graphics.raytracing is a dead group that no one is using. I have
a feeling I am the only person in the entire world that is subscribed
to that group. I am also pretty sure that I have mentioned this before.

Why are you discussing this topic in this thread ?

    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...
