Narcissist jokes:

"Every man wants a woman he can look down on."

"There's nothing wrong with narcissists that reasoning with them won't
aggravate."

"I'm really easy to get along with once you people learn to worship
me."

"Any connection between your reality and mine is purely
coincidental."

"How does a narcissist sleep? First he lies on one side, then he lies
on the other."

"How can you tell when a narcissist is lying? His lips are moving."

"What do you get when you cross the Godfather with a narcissist? An
offer you can't understand."

"What is the difference between a catfish and a narcissist? One's a
bottom-crawling scum sucker, and the other's just a fish."

"What do you call an honest narcissist? An impossibility."

"Hear about the terrorist that hijacked a 747 full of narcissists? He
threatened to release one every hour if his demands weren't met."

"What do a narcissist and a sperm have in common? Both have about a
one in 3 million chance of becoming a human being."

"Really, I'm the most appealing, sexy, charming, wonderful, most
intelligent man walking the face of the earth. Ask all those b****es
who left me!"


A man goes to a Psychologist and says, "Doc I got a real problem, I
can't stop thinking about sex." The Psychologist says, "Well let's see
what we can find out", and pulls out his ink blots. "What is this a
picture of?" he asks. The man turns the picture upside down then turns
it around and states, "That's a man and a woman on a bed making love."
The Psychologist says, "very interesting," and shows the next picture.
"And what is this a picture of?" The man looks and turns it in
different directions and says, "That's a man and a woman on a bed
making love." The Psychologists tries again with the third ink blot,
and asks the same question, "What is this a picture of?" The patient
again turns it in all directions and replies, "That's a man and a
woman on a bed making love." The Psychologist states, "Well, yes, you
do seem to be obsessed with sex." "Me!?" demands the patient. "You're
the one who keeps showing me the dirty pictures!"

A Ns wife goes to the Wizard to ask him if he can remove a curse she
has been living with for the last 10 years. The Wizard says, "Maybe,
but you will have to tell me the exact words that were used to put the
curse on you." The woman says without hesitation, "I now pronounce you
man and wife."

You really are fighting a losing battle. Nothing you say or do will

I've started making use of my kill file and my time spent in this forum
is quite a bit more pleasant as a result of it. I've lost the desire to
spend my time or bandwidth on the chafe.

AMEN brother... it's the only thing that works... and it *does* work.

Don't blame you!

Frankly, though, the problem with a simple kill file is that there are
too many false positives and false negatives. To that end, I have been
working on a series of algorithms that attempt to more accurately
address the problem, which tends to be more about whom is posting to
whom about what subject. (Rather than blocking all posts from a
particular poster.)

This certainly has been a study in GREP and group dynamics and, if I
am successful in making this work, I will open my news server for
others to download headers. That way, if you care to, you will see a
great reduction in the presence of the sandbox crew and other tripe
that most people don't care to read.

Gene,

Agreed, the kill file is simple, but brutally effective. I'd be
interested to know if you in fact get those algorithms functioning.

If you're having fun, go for it.
It reminds me of a guy I worked with way back who spent countless
hours working on an assembler program to fix an Epson printer paging
issue. Something about this or that Epson printer always advanced an
extra line every third page or so, and his fix would make him a
millionaire. The printer was probably out of production as we spoke.
Same guy was writing a porn novel, and told me (I think I was the only
person who actually listened to what he was saying) about a meeting
he had with a lawyer friend to talk about his "literature," and to
enlist his help in getting it published, because the lawyer had agent
contacts in the literary world.
So he meets with the lawyer friend for lunch, and gives him the draft
of the porn novel to read.
The lawyer reads a bit, and to the writer's utter shock, has a bad
reaction. He feels insulted.
This fellow - can't remember his name - is telling me all this with a
straight but hurt-filled face - he can't understand his lawyer friend
reaction.
He had tried before to tell me the story and some of the details of
his "novel," and I had always quickly excused myself, claiming a
"meeting" of something, but I heard enough to know it was pure raunch,
unadulterated by any redeeming value whatsoever.
I think what was most shocking about this whole incident is that I
discovered there is at least one lawyer who can be insulted.
Nothing to do with Gene's quest really, but it just reminded me of
this guy. Sort of wish my memory wasn't so good.

Assuming you don't already have me filtered out, are you saying we can
read the group on a server provided by you that will already have most
of the junk missing? That would be soooo cool, it would drive some
folks completely out of their heads.. I don't really know a lot about
news servers so this is all new to me. * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

If Gene filters on those who never post meaningful boating content,
you'll be in the dumpster, along with the Seven Dwarfs.

Harry,
Since you said you don't post any boating related info because rec.boats
has gone down the crapper, and you only come here to watch the 7 dwarfs
destroy what is left of rec.boats, won't you miss all the posts that you
really want to read?

Since you said you never want to make any boating related post, won't
Gene have you filtered from his server?
