Essay # 2 Journal 3

Today when i entered the Usenet newsgroup rec.music.hiphop a post about a popular music producer caught my attention. The topic headline read "Scott Storch:RIP"; from this i immediately thought he died so i had to get some information. Once inside the group i clicked a hyperlink which took me to the actual article so i could read it. After reading the article i realized that he wasn't actually dead, they were referring to his financial situation. With this knowledge i went back to the discussion to see some responses to the news. To my surprise people were slandering the producer and making claims about his career not being as good as many thought. While there were a few people who supported him this number was in any comparison to the non-supporters. I decided not to subscribe to this group because the amount of spam/unrelated information that is generated within the group is abundant.
