You don't have a bozo bin.

Why don't you just admit it and move on.

Yeah?

Want to see a copy of its contents?

No - because it doesn't exist. And even if it does you don't have it
turned on because you just can't stand not knowing what everybody is
saying.

I log the headers...not the actual messages...

Uh huh.

Have it your way.



Why bother logging anything? Why do you keep a record of the subject
headers for posts you don't read? Wouldn't it be simpler and cleaner to
just mark them as "delete" or "ignore sender"?

I do mark them for "delete" so I never actually see the headers, except by
checking the log. The messages aren't there...just the headers.

I don't keep a record of the headers to keep a record, as it were. It is
the way the filter works.
I typically dump the contents of the log once or twice a month. You can
almost hear the assholes screaming as I dump the log contents into the vat
headers into boiling water.


You've been reading too much Dickens.

Every few years, I reread three or four of his novels. I guess I have
been through the entire cycle a half dozen times or more.

through the entire cycle a half dozen times or more.

My mother, bless her heart, was an avid reader (still is) and all through
my childhood insisted that I read at least a book a week during the summer
school vacation. She didn't care what I read, as long as I read at least a
book a week. I remember it started with the "Hardy Boys" series back in
about 6th grade. As I got older, she would "suggest" certain books to
read.

One year though, I found a very old collection of Edgar Allen Poe's complete
works in a bookcase in the attic. I started reading some of his stuff and I
think it freaked her out.
I got a brief reprieve from reading that summer. The books (or book ...
can't remember if it was a single, thick book or several) were (was) bound
in real leather and looked as spooky as some of Poe's tales.

the poe museum. Great, orginal writer.

Sure.

Right after I get the mental images of his tales out of my head.
What was the one about building a brick wall in a basement?
I forget the name, but it gave me nightmares.

That (The Cask of Amontillado)and the Tell Tale Heart, were two of my
favorite English Lit short stories.

Still, I can find nothing more boring than visiting a cemetary, even if
it is Eager Alan Poe. YAWN

His detective fiction using C. Auguste Dupin as the protagonist is
often seen as the precursor to Sherlock Holmes. Doyle even admitted
as much.

And the Mystery Writers of American named their award after Poe - the
Edgar.

Depends on the grave. Napoleon Bonaparte's is extremely interesting. Les
