ALTHOUGH I'VE BEEN an ardent critic of Google, since circa
December 1, 2004, I've also been thankful when Google does
something to correct their, shall we say, "little mistakes".
Forsooth, Google still actively supports the DNC 100%, but
this message isn't about politics. It's about the ARCHIVES...
Let's review the basic chronology of Google's post-election
apparent censorship campaign. Without public warning, their
"beta" kicked in about one month to the day after Democrats
lost the election. The most immediately-evident and adverse
effect was that any embedded message links containing an '@'
character were parsed with an ellipsis (...), apparently to
prevent 'spam-bots' from the automatic harvesting of e-mail
addresses--thus, all message IDs and reference headers were
also munged, because they too all contain the '@' character.
Add to this, archived messages of significant size or line-
length were being mysteriously truncated, without providing
the user any means of downloading the entire message intact.
There were other, lesser problems encountered with Google's
Groups beginning in December 2004, but the above two issues
represent the most outrageous problems encountered by users.
Now, Why Google couldn't have waited to implement their beta
until all programming "bugs" were tested and finalized is un-
clear. Meanwhile, the Google Groups users at large have been
left to wonder just what the heck is going on at Google. And
it could be that widespread complaints about the Google beta
persuaded Google to rectify these and other problems much to
the benefit and relief of long-time usenet newsgroup posters
and subscribers. Google stopped truncating long messages and
also stopped forcing messages into non-monospaced text. Nice!
Lately, Google Groups users have noticed that the "..." that
still parses embedded '@' links (to thwart email harvesting)
are now highlighted. Clicking on the ellipsis brings up this
prompt to enter graphically-depicted characters into a field
(similar to the prompt you get when you submit a URL to MSN),
which, if entered correctly, "unlocks" the original article.
Granted, it's slow, and tedious by design. But at least now,
original articles and original message IDs are downloadable,
if only by one archived message ID at a time. While nowhere
nearly as convenient and simple to use as preelection times,
my hats off to Google for making the newsgroup archive once
again available to the public...a *significant* improvement!
Now, if only Google would stop supporting the DNC....that's
asking too much, I know. Suffice that the "Groups" are back.
Better late than never. I'm glad they got their act together.
Therefore I officially *retract* my boycott Google campaign.
(Provided that no other surprises cause me to reinstate it.)
Enjoy!

Geeez Danny... didn't I tell you this would happen?
Just to refresh your memory: a BETA is not a finished product, and continued
improvments will gradually be added, up until the point where google is
happy with the completness, and move it out of beta stage...
Your INSANE ramblings regarding the BETA were highly amusing for those of us
who have evolved past life in trees.
Carry on, nut-bar.... carry on.

The Collected Buffoonery of Daniel Joseph Min - Usenet's most failed prophet.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Who is Danny Min?
What does he post?
Examples of failed prophecies
What you should do
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Who is Daniel J. Min?
Daniel J. Min is a denizen of Usenet newsgroups. He posts using various variations on his name, including using asterisks or underlines in place of letters. Often he will post as "Nomen Nescio" or Anonymous, and he used to post as GOD>.
The reason for this is to get around peoples "kill files" or "bozo filters"
However, he consistently posts through anonymous "remailers" in order to disguise his true identity
He posts to various newsgroups, including alt.astrology, alt.astronomy, and alt.prophecies.nostradamus. He posts in any inappropriate newsgroup he deems neccessary.
Additionally Danny has been known to directly email people, once again, using his anonymous remailer service.
What does he post?
Danny posts various garbage claims about astrological influences, and birthdata, which he generally makes up as he goes along. Outstanding amongst his posts include claims to know exactly the birthdata of Jesus Christ, Johannes Kepler, Ptolemy, and various other historical characters.
He posts silly prophecies and claims, and even at times posts his own "kill file list" which has become so large that it's unlikely he even *sees* anyone else s posts anymore.
Some Classic examples of Danny's failed prophecies
(Danny's "prophetic" words are italicized)
Danny predicts the "Great Khan of Terror":
On 15 Nov 1999 22:34:03 -0600, GOD wrote in these newsgroups:
The king of terror will come some time around the month of May in 2000.
At this time, the inner planets will all be lined up on one side of the sun with the exception of the Earth which will be directly at the opposite side.
The increased gravitational effects of the sun combined with the added pull from the other planets will have a devastating effect on the earth.
At this time, all major fault lines will rupture. California will experience the big one at this time.
Volcanic activity will increase and it is very likely that the Long Valley Caulderra will explode cataclysmicly. These types of events will be occurring at roughly the same time throughout the entire planet.
To top it off, the suns corona will be nudged away from the earth...towards the grouped inner planets, effectively creating a massive coronal hole (I.E." the "three days of darkness").
When the pull of the alignment comes to pass, the corona will snap back to the earth facing side thereby releasing a CME of massive proportions....aimed directly at planet Earth.
Believe me, there will be terror at this time.

Danny moves "The Great Kahn of Terror" by yet another 7 months:

Yes, the seventh month 1999 in the revised Roman calendar was from sunset September 10th to sunset October 10th but the first month 1999 was in the spring of 1762 BC, sunset Saturday March 24th to sunset April 22nd proleptic Julian. The seventh month Ethanim was therefore 2000, not of 1999 but FROM the first month in the YEAR 1999 of the passover. Hence, the YEAR 1999 seventh month AND seven months. See?
I let you take every day of the year 1999
The LORD granted the centuries and you did not repent. He giveth and He taketh away. You Robert, speak blasphemy of the LORD.
and you were wrong.
I am corrected by scripture--and Nostradamus was likewise.
there was no terror from the skies, no killer asteroid.
And yet again must that universal ruler of infernal hades be raised up as it is written. Beware the star in fortune opposing, in the rule of night from heaven it advances to WINNOW, "Whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire" [Mat 3:12]

That makes two of us, or 6 billion of us if I'm not entirely mistaken.
At October much will be made clear
by ways and means of the elements.
I expect half the population gone,
global equalisation of temperature

His perpetual age the moment where,

Daniel predicts the US presidential election for 2000
On 12 Nov 2000 23:44:00 -0000, Daniel Joseph Min wrote:
The 42nd President of the United States is the very
last of all the American Presidents to hold office.
He will announce our *National Emergency* shortly,
thus will continue in the office of the President,
having already been inaugurated in due diligence
when he was elected President. Gore is still VP.
&There is no reason to repeal the 22nd amendment,
given that Mr. President William Jefferson Clinton
has been elected twice only, and no more, thus the
amendment does not apply. Neither does a term limit
apply in his case, given that this is indeed a true
state of emergency with bloody violence seen to be
escalating in the State of Florida and elsewhere,
spreading like wildfire as it is in the mid east.
Get to higher ground if you can (look at England!)
Daniel Joseph Min
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So what should you do about him?
Well, first of all, you can be pretty sure based on his success rate that anything he has to say is wrong.
Someone once said, rather well, that "there is too much Min, and not enough Nostradamus" in what he posts.
Complaining won't do much, because he's they type of individual that doesn't feel the need to explain himself.
Asking him to stop only feeds him.
complaining to his anonymous remailer service results in nothing.
About the best thing to be said, is just be aware of what a buffoon he is.

Ummm... because then it wouldn't have been a "beta", would it?
The whole point of a beta is to test the program in the field, in order
to _find_ the programming bugs, and _then_ they can be removed. Or do
you really think that the programmers can somehow fix bugs that people
haven't even found yet?
