Gene, you have your own NNTP server? *


Yes....


Can we all try it?


That is my intent, for all those really interested in less noise.


Gene: will your server filter out all the trash, including discussions
of golf, motor homes, grandchildren, guitars, et cetera? I guess what I
am asking is, what topics will be filtered? And does your server read
the posts, or just the headers?

Thanks!

Why, so you can work on getting around it.. it is folks like that who
cause folks like us to work so hard and long.. Telling the secrets
would only make the work harder... Learn to post and not troll, and
you will have no problem...




Yeah, right, I want to post my golf scores, information about my motor
home, photos of my grandchildren and guitars and kiddie motorcycle
racing. The point is, if it doesn't filter out that sort of crap, what's
the point?

Anytime you want to take a proctored IQ test and have the proctor post
the results, I'll be glad to do the same. Or perhaps you and loogy will
let us know what happens at the next general conclave of the prometheus
society.

Well, it's time to quit a bad habit again, I hope... I am getting
ready for the "new wrecked.boats" you are officially "plonked". BTW,
your IQ means zip. A friend was the youngest ever full professor at
Johns Hopkins. and he admits he can't turn a screw or tie a shoe
without a book..... Later windoze boy...

Yeah, I kind of figured you'd not want to post your IQ, "serverman."

Harry,
Yes, the server is set up to remove all off topic discussion except for
daily updates on all UPS shipments going to your house, all references
to what a great marksman you are, photos of Stumpy etc, photos of what
Harry Krause has on his IPOD etc. You know, it removes all off topic
discussions except those that are originated by Harry Krause.

Oh and we can't forget the thousands of cut and paste of political
articles.... what would you do if those were filtered.

Maybe, but not if they are civil.

I guess what I
am asking is, what topics will be filtered?


Just the ones that people can't handle. Politics, for example. At this
point, I'm not really trying to determine acceptable subjects so much
as I am simple civility.

And does your server read
the posts, or just the headers?


Both.



Thanks...so when someone like Reggie makes continuously snarky remarks,
or if some remarks are reported to you, will you be able to filter them
or him ...out?

Serious question. I'm interested in the recognition patterns. Reggie
usually tries to veil his snot.
