First of all, you idiot, I'm not Kevin. Secondly, I didn't start the
thread, you dummy, so how could I possibly mark it off topic????



For those who read Smithers' original posts, mark them "OB" for
out-of-bounds.

Don't forget to include all the assholes here who fake IDs, or use my
name in a header, as you usually do, meatsock.

Foul language only displays an inability to use a dictionary. I say save
it for the street where it is more appreciated. And, yes, there is a
time and place in literature where truth of reality may call for the use
of colorful language. There is also a time and place for 'same' in
Usenet. This NG is not one of them.

I'm surprised to see harry complain about his protégé Kevin.

Kevin,
The way you make a topic is OT is to place the letters "O" and then a "T" at
the very beginning of the subject line, the same way I changed yours to OT.

I'm not Kevin, idiot. But, the fact remains, Bill's post was off topic,
he didn't put OT at the beginning. Understand? You simply copied a post
as new one. Nice try, but anybody with a grade school education can
figure that out.

Bert,
That is one of the reasons Harry doesn't allow his posts to be archived.
Someone came up with a program that showed that Harry was never away from
his computer for more than an hour, between the hours of 6am-11pm. This
was during the summer months, so it made it very difficult for Harry to talk
about how much time he spent "boating".


LOL!

Kevin,

There is another way to accomplish the same thing when you respond to an
off topic post. Simply add "OT", as I did, and it will go away for
those of us who filter "OT" posts.

That said, this particular thread is far less of a distraction (to me,
at least) than the daily political debates. I have filtered only a
small group of individual posters who don't seem to post here anymore -
or no one is replying to them. I have also filtered the obvious
political keywords but that might cut the BS in half at best. "An
addition to the check is in the mail routine" is impossible to filter
as an off topic post. It would have been nice if the OP had simply
added "OT" to the subject.

Mr. Smithers,

It was me. And besides showing that Harry couldn't be posting to rec.boats
and actually boating at the same time he exposed where he was employed.

Harry tried to say that my data collection method was screwed up but he
couldn't BS his way through an audit trail.

Now he is Harry "X-No-Archive" Krause.

Harry,
When are you ever away from your computer, typing to rec.boats to go
visit "clients", to go boating on your Parker, or to go "cruising" on
your Lobster Boat?

Heck, even when you were on vacation you spent 8 hrs a day, posting on
rec.boats.

Thanks...I'll look around for one. I've looked at the best from SONY
and Viewsonic.


The high-end Sony was the benchmark I used when shopping. A very nice
display. Unfortunately, whoever designed the stand for the current
model of the monitor is a complete idiot. No height adjustment at all
and a very awkward tilt adjustment. I stumbled upon the NEC by
accident at a Fry's Electronics store and it was all over. The
display was at least the equal of the Sony as far as my needs for
digital photo editing was concerned, even edging it out a bit, I
thought But the height and tilt adjustment were far superior on the
NEC, as were the powered USB ports, and after rebate, it was $100 less
expensive than the Sony. It probably didn't hurt that I was
converting from an NEC CRT that had served me well for over ten years.
Don't even bother with the ViewSonic products. They are not at the
same level as the Sony and NEC.

I noticed that about the SONY. Actually, I'm kinda holding out for
something I like bigger than 19. One of my clients lets me use a
Viewsonic 20" when I visit his office, and that size is really nice.
I'm in no real hurry.

My wife is looking for one with a wall bracket. Anyone seen one of
them?

Sceptre like I have has a wall bracket available. Do a google on Sceptre
LCD.

Not OT to a newsgroup. How do you read the messages here. Brail?

He has no shame...that is, except as indicated by the X-No-Archive. He
knows best what his words are worth...
