Strange Bootlegging

icarlosdanger

Isn't weird that posts from multiple IBM-related Yahoo groups are routinely posted to another non-Yahoo site, for many years?

Anyone know of ANY other Yahoo groups whose posts are routinely bootlegged to serve another website???

Strange hobby, for sure!

Why do you think this is strange?

There are numerous IBM-related groups and worthwhile information is spread all over the place.  There's also a lot of nonsense that gets posted that makes it a PITA to weed through things to find the good stuff.  So AlwaysOnTheRoad summarizes things and makes it easy to find what he considers posts that are worth reading.   I wouldn't call it bootlegging.  Just think of it as the Readers Digest of IBM groups.

And yes, some may think that he is biased and picks things that he agrees with.  Overall, I think he does a pretty good job of presenting both sides. But you can never make everyone happy.

I forgot, there are many low-information folks that needed stuff pre-filtered. Sorry.

Ah yes, and you probably get all your news from PBS and NPR, eh?

Let's see if the union site posts anything about what the re-elected Trumka said yesterday about Obamacare!!

Ha!
