How about some civility on ARBR for a change?

I just love you, Ed! You are my hero. Keep up the good work!

Hey Ed. I agree with your call for civility. I hope that it gets
heard by others. On the subject of cycling, have you done any
cycling/touring along the North Shore of your beautiful State? In 2004
I traveled by car on a family vacation from Thunder Bay to Duluth
wishing I had my bike the whole time! What a beautiful drive!
Superior is amazing! I am certain it would be a great area tour on a
bike!

All I ever want to do is to defeat and humiliate you, but how can I do

here on ARBR.

Usenet is strictly for idiots, [censored] and jerks - positively no
exceptions! When I am on Usenet I try to be the biggest idiot, [censored]

can state with absolute assurance that I am the Greatest Idiot, the
Greatest [censored] and the Greatest Jerk that Usenet has ever known in
its' long and dishonored history. For Christ's sakes, I prove it every

I frankly do not have the slightest idea what newsgroups are all about.

Goodbye.

Hi Jim.

I once drove around Lake Superior many years ago in the month of August
expecting halfway decent weather. Hells Bells, I might just as well have
been in the high arctic. Low and heavy clouds hung over me for the entire
two weeks it took me to get around the Lake. It rained every other day and
was cold as hell. Nothing but gloom and doom all the way. All those damn
spruce trees dripping with moss made me wish I was dead.

You have to very careful once you get into Canada as there are only the main
roads and everyone is on them as there are no alternatives. North of Lake
Superior there is nothing, but even north of Thunder Bay (the old Fort
William and Port Arthur) there is not much. Frankly I gave up on the North
Woods years ago. It is basically nothing but a Green Hell.

I am a man of the Southwest and I love the deserts and the mountains of that
region. But it was my fate to be born and to have to live in dreadful
Minnesota where I am constantly assailed by nerds, jerks and all-around
[censored]. But I am preparing to leave this world in any event for a far, far
better place known as Oblivion.

But it is also a good way to get some more input here on ARBR. We have grown
incestuous and need some outsiders to freshen things up.

I am planning to post an original message very early on Mondays from now on
and it will be to multiple newsgroups since I am never on-topic anyway. It
will always be general in nature and will apply to any and all newsgroups
which have ever existed. My only aim, as always, will be to stir things up.
Stay tuned.

Well, Mr. Tom Sherman of ARBR has mentioned his 10,000 posts several times
over the course of the years. You do not think I am going to let a liberal
left wing ding bat (all one word) like him be the most prolific poster of
all time to ARBR do you? If I allowed that, then I would not be Great - and
as you well know I am Ed Dolan the Great, not Ed Dolan the Lessor. So I have
to at least equal his miserable 10,000 posts.

They are even more idiotic than is ARBR. I will grace them with my presence

I'd call him (or her) a lying, hypocritical spineless weasel and quite
possibly suggest they perform an anatomically unlikely feat with him (or
her) self. And I'd do it privately, so if it got out then the person was
obviously a tattle-tale lying, hypocritical....yada yada yada.

Why be a door mat?

Ah, that's more like it! No more pompous faux benevolence, no more
sanctimony, no more play-acting with fancy words and very loose
interpretation of carefully-chosen facts. Just roughly strewn-together
obscenity and bigotry worthy of any Bahston pub, circa 1:30 AM.

Nope, the above is nothing but more Ed Dolan subterfuge, all of it
strictly tongue in cheek. But stay tuned, if I really get [censored] at
you, you will know it and there will be no mistake about what I intend.

Intriguing, especially if true.

Is this a case of a craftily laid trap or after-the-fact nimbleness? A
change of mood due to a significantly smaller or greater consumption of
3.2% beer at one time or other?

Just another in an ever-growing list of unknowables. Mystery is indeed the
spice of life.

3.2 beer or any other kind of beer is for barbarians. I am strictly into
wine, but only a single brand, Livingston Cellars Red Rose. It is the
cheapest wine you can buy but very good as it does not give me a headache.

I like to just sort of sip it as I post to Usenet. I will admit that I
occasionally sip a bit too much which causes me to go berserk and say things
that even I don't recognize later on. I ask myself - did I really write
that? Sometimes under such circumstances I am brilliant and at other times I
am just plain dumb.
