This page contains links to some of the more bizarre and/or off-topic
messages and threads that have appeared in the 'closed' (BTi customers
only) newsgroups btinternet.announce, btinternet.support
and btinternet.whinge. It is provided as a service to those
who
- have
have not outgrown student humour or
- are
considering subscribing
to BTi or
- are
considering taking employment
with BTi Support or
- having
quit BTi, are suffering from a bout of nostalgia
and
may help explain both why the creator of this site stayed with BTi
for so long and why he finally signed up with another provider.

A Warning to those who disapprove of "strong
language": usenet is a largely unregulated medium and some
of the messages quoted on this site contain expletives both ancient
and novel. The creator of this site generally chooses to avoid the
use of such language for both stylistic and snobbish reasons, but
would far prefer to ignore the delicate susceptibilities of the "polite"
than to give succour to those who would remove free speech from usenet.
He does, in any case, appreciate well-phrased invective - a classic
example of which can be found in these pages. |

| Q: |
Why
the lower case "i" in the customers' nickname "BTi"? |
| A: |
Like
"GTi" it once meant "I paid a premium for the top-of-range
high-performance version," but eventually came to imply "old-tech,
out-of-date design, costs a bomb to run, can't go fast any more and
keeps breaking down." |
And now for something
completely different ...
