I've mentioned this one here a few times...now Mother Jones has a
really nice piece about him. This fellow is the lowest of the
low...and was involved in one of the biggest health care scams ever.

I need to find the link to the analysis of what it costs, in terms of
energy consumption, to post stuff to a newsgroup. It is surprisingly
expensive, relatively. The same amount of energy is consumed by those
that download and read the stuff.

It's time for a filter, I think. Not a Bozo filter. Windows Mail (and
I think OE) allow you to create a filter that will automatically ignore
or delete messages that exceed a certain, selectable number of lines.

I think maybe 50-75 lines should do it. Harry's cut and paste was one
of his shorter ones, but it still contains over 150 lines.

This response is about 31 lines, including the reference and short quote.

50-70 lines should be enough for normal discussions and will certainly
eliminate most of the energy wasting cut and pastes.

Or...you could take a pill for your short attention span.

No one is forcing you to read more than 50-75 lines, Richard, or forcing
you to give up your ignorance on significant issues. This isn't a
boating newsgroup, after all.
