They are screening, at the FidoNet node that "gates" the FidoNet
message area called MooseChat to-and-from the alt.moose.rights UseNet
newsgroup.  You're replying to a message informing you of that, dude.

Perhaps you've misunderstood.  If I read the message you're replying
to correctly, the gateway system operator was trying to do you a favor.

It looks like you have replied to a few MooseChat messages that have
been "gated" to alt.moose.rights, but your replies contained "bad
words" that meant your messages could not be gated back to MooseChat.
So, you've taken the trouble to reply to some MooseChat messages, but
the people you're following-up do not see your replies because of a
few "bad words".  That seems a shame, because you seem like someone
who could either be witty (or make a point) without needing to use
bad language.

On the flip side, now that you know the situation, you could give up a
few possibly offensive words in order to ensure that your reply gets
through to any fidonet.org people who wrote messages you follow-up on.

Of course, knowing the situation, you also have the option of posting
"witty" replies containing offensive language and know that you need
not worry about a fidonet.org follow-up because your "wit" will not
get through.

Right.  It was not x-posted.  It was also not "gated" to MooseChat.

Friendly sort, aren't you?  I've an alternative suggestion.  Since
MooseChat participation is falling, and since alt.moose.rights was
doing a great imitation of an almost dead newsgroup before the
fidonet.org "gating" of MooseChat started a small amount of synergy
between the two message areas, why not try and compromise?

Why not give up a few words, which your message shows you obviously
do not need in order to be witty, and help both message areas stay
alive?

Of course, you could just "killfile" any alt.moose.rights posts with
fidonet.org in the from line.  Now, _that_ would certainly prove
that _you_ actually know how UseNet newsgroups work.

Meanwhile, as an example of possible compromise, I've managed
what is apparently the appropriate UseNet attitude of being obnoxious
without using any words that would cause FidoNet admin types any
grief.  Are you up to that challenge, too?  


Respectfully yours,
