Your kill file is your friend, Tamyka. Plonk them. Stick them in the
Bozo bin. They won't go away, but you can't see them :-)

Hey Richard. I thought Google was my friend. Maybe you at a pinch. Ian

Now Mr Kill File 🙂 So much social life.

You should get yourself a proper News client, Dave. Oh ... hang on ...
is there a proper News client for Linux?

Do you still use Gopher? :-)

Definitely. slrn is a wonderful program. Much better than any Usenet
client I've ever seen for Windows.

Tamyka strikes me as the kind of person who can take care of herself without
you running interference for her. After all, she thinks she is just as good
as any man. So let her prove it and not act like most women who cut and run
at the first sign of trouble.

Every sentence of mine just reeks with meanings with many avenues to
explore, but it takes an intelligent mind to see this. Sorry Richard, even
though your poetry is not half bad, you are too much into yourself to give
the requisite attention to my posts, to plumb them for their hidden wisdom
and great profundities. But that is ever the lot of great thinkers like
myself. I am resigned to it. Only God knows what to think about me. I sit at
His Right Hand and as a result I know many things that others can only dream
about.

But who cares about being famous on AB. Australia is a backwater. You should
have posted your humble effort to ARBR where I am well known and well
thought of. They think I am a genius and they are not far from wrong. I will
file your hymn of praise to me along with the many others that I receive
daily. A lessor being would let all this attention go to his head, but I am
modest and humble along with my many other virtues.

Great is a relative term. I am only Great by comparison with the likes of
you and others of your ilk. But I decided upon Great because why should only
murderers and tyrants be entitled to that appellation. Darius, Alexander,
Peter, etc. - murderers all. Since I have never yet murdered anyone, I feel
I am entitled to the term more than any of those others.

I _did_ say "I've ever seen". Implicit in that statement, coupled with
your comments, is the fact that I've never seen slrn running on a
Windows box. 🙂

Thunderbirds are go for me too, the thing I liked is it took all my
Netscape configuration so once I installed there was nothing more to do.
I couldn't get the killfile/filter to work on Netscape, hopefully more
luck with Thunderbird (just waiting for the next top-posting war).

OMG, he thinks he's Jesus now! The second coming is upon us!!!

I've noticed that anyone who blows their own trumpet that much is
generally playing with themself...

(Did I mean playing solo or was there a 'hidden profundity'?)
*chortle* :o)

Tamyka of the mighty T has moxy, unlike you Richard. We shall see if she has
any staying power. I have never yet known a female who did not go into a
huff and get all offended by absolutely nothing at all. But so far, so good.
