Seriously?

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and accept that for now - and
accept that you have good intentions.  In that case, let me tell you
that in practice you are doing a big disservice to the group - if it
were not already basically dead as the result of Amine's postings, you
would have chased away most other people.

If you want to be a positive force in this group, and get it back to
some more programming questions, then that is /great/.  But if you want
to be taken seriously, then there are a few things you should do:

1. Pick /one/ name, with one spelling, and stick to it.

2. Stop trying to reply to Amine.  He has been doing this for a decade
or more, and does not inhabit the same world as the rest of us.

3. If you want to reply to someone who posts nonsense, especially Amine,
do not quote their entire post to add a pointless comment at the end.

4. Don't post swaths of incomprehensible html or other web code.  If you
have a programming question about javascript, write the question and use
small snippets of code as necessary.

5. Don't advertise to chat sites and other such questionable sites.  In
fact, don't advertise at all.

6. Don't post code or links to code unless it is relevant to a
discussion or question.  No one cares about some php code you wrote.  If
you have a /question/, or a problem, or have learned something fantastic
about programming that you want to share with others - that's great.  If
you want comments, suggestions or advice about code, that's fine too.
But write a post asking for that - don't just dump a pile of illegible
code in a post and expect others to be interested.

7. Remember this is a place for grown-ups.  Try to act like one.  And
cut the sexism and inappropriate language.

If you are looking for a "cool" and "happening" place, this is not it.
Usenet is mostly populated by more mature people.  We don't do emojies
or multiple exclamation marks.  But if you want a serious discussion on
serious topics, you are welcome here.
