Those of us who are falsely accused of being trolls say the most interesting
things which others MUST respond to in spite of themselves. If you kill
file, you miss everything that makes newsgroups worthwhile. But most
importantly, you miss the original posting of characters like myself who are
to Usenet what Beethoven was to music. Time to get your priorities right I
would say.

The kind of characters you want to kill file are those who resort to
obscenities and sexual innuendo. They are truly worthless types who only
deserve a good swift kick in their dumb asses.

Don't know which newsreader you are using (I could find out with mine,
properly set up, but don't care to). However, with Thunderbird, my
default reader, you can not only block the troll, but the entire ensuing
thread. I filter both for "From" and "Subject".

Why not just filter the entire newsgroup. That way you will never be
disturbed by anything. Better yet, try to only talk to yourself. That is
what I did for most of my life and it really works - not a single idiot ever
to bother me.

The main character you want to filter is this Ken guy so you do not ever
have to see his freaking ads for his bicycle clothing again. After all,
jerseys for $49. and shorts for $39. are no bargain. I can get such apparel
for less than half that from Bike Nashbar and Performance.

Alas, my many fans will not permit me to retire. They insist on hearing from
me on a daily basis. Do not envy those like me who are Great. It is more
often than not a burden. Oh, to be a humble nobody like you cc. Yea, it is a
fate greatly to be desired. Then I could truly rest from my labors.

Jim should never attempt wit as it is the one thing he sorely lacks. He does
best at being earnest, the importance of which never seems to escape him.

If we have learned only thing from Clinton's approach to managing
public lands, we have learned, when you alienate people to using
public land, they will not learn to appreciate open space, and land
conservation.

Unused land, is generally useless land.

True, -urban tendencies apply, too. Property values,
population and development pressures, sprawl, life-style
choices, value systems, etc, all play...

Quoted message said:

If you mean, land that heretofore is largely undeveloped,
then for some value of "useless", that's true.

But no-so-true for some fundemental values of "useless"...

If we want to have any wild land left for recreation 20
years from now, or 50, or 100, if we want the earth's
climate to remain stable, if we want it to be safe to
go out in the sun, if we want to have clean air and
water, we must understand the relationship between
civilization and wilderness better. We must recognize
that people have the power to destroy the wild world and,
in the process, ourselves.
