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.

I say just do the Bozo bin route, it is soooo nice not to see or waste
time on anything the pink army says. Even in the rare event that they
should say something interesting, in most cases it's just as easy to
google it like they did then you get it without the lame rhetoric... 4
filters are all I have and I get all I need or want from wrecked boats
