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.

No one is forcing anyone to read even one line of your biased ignorant
understanding of significant issues.
This truly is a boating newsgroup. The newsgroup name clearly says so.
It is your bullheaded ignorance that is pulling the group off topic. God
only knows why you think you are enlightening anyone with your stupid
patter.

Not as long as you are here, WAFA.

That's a pretty stupid thing to say.
You are implying I am ignorant and don't want to give it up?

Idiot.

I just don't need to be politically "educated" by you in a boating newsgroup
via 300 lines and wasted bandwidth of your typical cut and paste. You could
just as easily supply a link, or refrain from these long winded, energy
wasting, politically biased recitals.

Thank you in advance for your thoughtful consideration of others.

You're entirely welcome. I am delighted to give you the same thoughtful
consideration you give me. In fact, I think I give you more.

Let me read it back to you.

"No one is forcing you to read more than 50-75 lines, Richard, or forcing

Now, concentrate. Squint your eyes and contract your sphincters as best you
can.
What did you say?

I take it as being one of the most arrogant, egotistical, selfserving
statements you have made .... in at least the last hour or so.

I finally got tired of Harry's crap. He's now in my kill file, though that
doesn't stop his replies from showing up in a message thread. He's such a
lame-brained, pompous, egocentric ass. Reasoning with him, which I have
tried on many occasions, is a total waste of effort. Will Rogers would
retract his famous declaration if he had ever met Harry. He must really be a
miserable soul. What a shame.
