More like BOB

Wrong BOB. MS came out with a... wait for it... dumbed down version of Windows
they called BOB. Looked like it was designed by Mr. Rogers in collaboration with
Fisher-Price. It was a major flop, but subsequent versions of Windows have
interfaces that look more and more like BOB, with vivid, cartoonish, brightly
colored rounded icons, etc.

I thought I was in your bozo bin?

I guess you missed it when I explained that I rarely kill off anybody
permanently. I first set a 7-10 day filter that marks their posts "READ" so my
reader skips right over them. If one of those is in a thread I'm following, I
sometimes read it to see if its anything other than more of the stuff I killed
them about. After 10 days, the filter expires and they are back to normal. If
they still haven't changed their tune, I once again set a "READ" filter, but
usually for 30 days. If they are still acting like a jackass after that, I
permanently filter them, either completely, or to mark as "READ".

Periodically I delete ALL my filters, as most of the posters involved are no
longer posting, or the overly long thread I filtered is so old that it's no
longer a problem.

I usually refer to my filter as "The Penalty Box", not the Bozo Bin, although
many Bozo's get put there.


Salty, what is the purpose of announcing to the world that you've put
someone in your killfile? Some folks use it as a threat, as though it will
really hurt.

I can understand killfiling, but I can't understand the announcement
necessity.

Excuse me? In the post you are commenting upon, I was answering a question, not
making an announcement. I'll bet thetre is a lot more that you don't understand.
What is the purpose of announcing to the world that you are a dolt who doesn't
understand much of what he reads? I can't understand the necessity.


No, no. I was referring to the post in which you made your initial
announcement.

Not trying to be querulous, just trying to understand.

Yes, there is a lot in this world I don't understand.
