And of those 48, 21 were "on topic off topic". Recheck your data. There's a basic error in the methods these twerps use to do their countings. It's the same dumb error every time. I know a guy who can do this with a fair amout of accuracy. He wrote a script to use with Xnews reader that will even count the number of times you use any particular word. I, for instance, have a propensity to use the words propensity, however and the phrase, "having said that". Somethings should be better left unknown. :) Later, Tom You've just hit on one of the problems. Example: several of the Conservatrashers start posts each year that include my name in the subject line. Some of these rack up 80 or 100 follow-ups, even if I don't comment at all. Or they'll pick up a word within a message...and if your name is in that message...there you go. But it doesn't matter. -- We today have a president of the United States who looks like he is the son of Howdy Doody or Alfred E. Newman, who isn't smarter than either of them, who is arrogant about his ignorance, who is reckless and incompetent, and whose backers are turning the United States into a pariah. What, me worry? |
Harry,

What is the error Mr. Know-It-All? You aren't smart enough to spoof yourself and nobody wants to spoof you either. The error is in your ignorance of USENET and how it works.

That's great! Thanks for pointing out the retards! I also think its
hilarious, that the first three don't even have boats! None the less, the first 25 are already in my kill file...but this would be the perfect list for someone to cut-n-paste into their own kill file list...

He's the twerp everyone punches in the nose during a barfight. I also have a bozo bin, but its occupants are limited to the droolers. and to the most mindless of the crackpot conservatives who infest this newsgroup. You're not in my bozo bin because, frankly, I have a soft spot in my heart for the Mad Hatters amongst us.

"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked. "Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad." "How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.
