A quick look at the heads will tell you which server the posts are coming from. Harry has the best of both worlds now. He can post in a well behaved manner via Gene's server and at the same time post snarky replies via his other server. Since the snarky posts are being originated from Gene's server Gene won't terminate his access. I think the point of Gene's server is, that if you were using it, you wouldn't see the snarky posts. That's what I thought also, until I looked at the posts. Harry's **** is showing up there in droves. But, I see none of Don White's **** there. And I've seen only three of JimH's posts there. Maybe it's working - a little. The posts from those folks posting thru greatnowhere are being incorrectly threaded and in some cases delayed on other Usenet servers. I have no idea how they look on the greatnowhere server. It screws it for people using other than the "great" server, this I know for sure. Right now, I'm using two. But the main one is the one I normally use, not Gene's. Filtering does a pretty good job, but there are some folks who have to argue (needlessly and futilely, but 'respectfully') with the guy. Now, if they'd only delete the quotes! |

Now, if they'd only delete the quotes!- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - That would be a start.. Especially when you consider only two other posters can really join in them with any substance (like honest debate) without being attacked... My family has a lot more experience on the "working end" of the union, than even our friend wafa.. But trying to bring those experiences to any conversation here is useless, it's frustrating as hell. All it will bring is more name calling, editing and reposting, and deflections. |

Actually, I post via *three* servers, and it has nothing to do with simple-minded BAR's claim. Gawd, it must be awful, going through life as he does, terminally stupid. I rest my case.

A relevant contest would allow us one point for each insult or snarky remark directed at us, and two for outright lies or misrepresentations. So far, your count seems intellectually lazy. |
