Give me a break Gene. Most of Harry's posts are done so without being noted
as OT.

How about another excuse?


Since you have jumped to such a conclusion, would you care for an
education?

Since so many posters in this newsgroup have elected not to include
the term "OT-" in their subject, thereby making it impossible to
filter using conventional means, I have implemented a personal news
server. It uses grep, filters on any message headers, any body
content....even a sig line.... So, if a word, phrase, or any
combination thereof is used that is included in my hit-list, the
message is dropped.... even if *I* screw up and use one of those
words.

I didn't see any of Harry's messages for months, because he had words
like, "Bush, Neo-Con, Republican, Kerry, Liberal, Democrat, etc" in
his sig line.

In fact, since you quoted some of Harry's original message, if the
filters were on, I'd have never seen *your* post!

I still think you should light up your boat!

Did you know that spell check tries to substitute 'ooze' for the port holes in your cabin?

I just thought I'd pass that on. I think it's the best of all the sig lines, except for mine, of
course. But, if you put some Christmas lights, or maybe a wee tree on the bow, it would be stunning!
