RE--
As this is Betov's last basteon in his crusade against so many things,
there is little hope in the near future of it improving and returning
back to being an assembler newsgroup so I would recommend that members
who are interested in assembler rather than Betov's crusades seek
another venue where they can get some sensible discussion.

There is always hope:
Snipped from the "x86 Assembly Language FAQ" available at:

Subject: 3. Charters For comp.lang.asm.x86 and alt.lang.asm Newsgroups
3.2  ALT.LANG.ASM
Alt newsgroups are initiated with a Proposal posting to the alt.config
newsgroup.  The proposal for alt.lang.asm is:
alt.lang.asm will address the problems of machine language programmers
out there in Internet land.  It will be a forum for discussion of
coding
techniques and efficiency problems related to machine language.  The
scope will be broad.  We will not discriminate by machine architecture,
race or sex.
3.3  Posting Guidelines
The following are simple guidelines to help you post to the above
newsgroups.  These simple guidelines are just that, simple.  They're
not
rules written in stone, just guidelines.  Please consider them when you
are posting new messages and replying to existing messages.
- Please use a somewhat detailed subject line. A line such as "help
me"
is not considered detailed, where as "8086 SALC instruction help"
is detailed. Please note that some newsreaders truncate a long
subject line.
- Please do not place part of the subject on the subject line and
the rest of the subject in the body of the message.
- Please do not ask a question via the subject line.
- If you are replying to a message, please see that only one "re:"
is
prefixed to the subject, rather than multiple 're:'s.
- If you are completely changing the subject in the body, please
note
in the subject line: re: new subject [was: old subject]"
- Please keep cross posting to a minimum between the two mentioned
groups.
- If you ask for a response by email, please make a follow-up post.
In this follow-up, please do not just include all original
emails,
but make a worth-while response to what the outcome of the
responses
brought to you and/or the subject at hand.
- Please do not request that someone do you home work or other work
for you. However, you may ask for help with the particular
problem
you are having. When asking for help, always describe what you
have
already tried yourself and/or what part of the original problem
you
don't understand and need help with.
- Please be advised that most newsreaders cut your lines to about
70 chars per line. If you use more chars per line, you may get
linewrap with out the usual prefix char when replying.
- Please do not post binaries. There are other ways to have people
see your binary. A simple URL in the body of your message is
more appropriate than an attachment.  Besides, some news servers
reject postings with binary attachments.
- Please keep your text attachments to a minimum and a minimum size.
If the text attachment is only a few lines, post it directly in
your
message at the point of interest. However, if you have a text
attachment of 100 lines or more, you may leave it an attachment
or
place it at the end of the message. Some newsreaders treat
attachments
differently.
- When replying to larger messages, please cut non associated text
from your reply. If needed, please include quotes of the portion
of the previous post to make the current post in context.  For
smaller
messages, it is okay to leave all text as is.
- Please do not quote an entire long message just to say "thank
you".
Quote a small amount to remind the reader about what you are
saying
"thank you" to.
- Please use text format for your messages.  HTML formatted messages
are
not pleasing to most readers.
- Please keep your signature to about 5 lines including blank lines.
Five does not include the '-- ' line.
- If you would like someone to reply to you via email, please either
leave instructions on manipulating your "anti-spam" reply
address,
or leave your actual address. Do not assume the reader will
know how to parse your address for "anti-spam" items.
- Please do not add any text to the "end" of your email address.
Many
newsreaders will reject posts that don't have a recognizable
ending
component (.com, .org, etc.). It is better to place all your
"anti-
spam" text before the "@" symbol or the .com|.org, etc.
- If your message is rejected, moderators will usually send you a
notification by email. If any significant effort is required to
notice and/or fix the anti-spam in your email address, the
moderators
may not bother with it.
