Hi, not-quite-all,

Since I carried out a long-overdue cull of the worst deadwood on this
group, the signal/noise ratio has improved no end. All those dreadful,
unending eponymous threads with sh*t-for-brains in the subject header
no longer pollute my monitor and I can live in peace with my computer
again. OT stuff by OT posters is no longer tolerated!
I heartily recommend aggressive pruning of all the OT shite on this
newsgroup. Learn to love Usenet again...

Peace be with some of you...

So, does free will actually exist or is it a memetic illusion?...

Interesting juxtaposition here. As to free will, The Founding Fathers
evidently believed in it, since it's written into the foundation of
the country, which the neonazis are dismantling as fast as they can
get away with it.

And didn't some guy a couple thousand or so years ago run around
preaching, "You will know the truth, and the truth will make you
free"?

And I believe in it, and fully support anyone's right to believe
whatever they want to. ;-)

Like Dear ol' Dad (RIP) used to say, "I may not agree with what you
say, but I will defend to the death your right to remain uninformed."

Cheers!

Why get so emotionally involved?. Surely just take 'em as you find 'em.
When all said and done these groups are just a talking shop.
I only regularly read a few of these groups. Usually late at night every
day or two, dependant on work load. But, I read *everything*. No one needs
plonking as it only takes about 30 minutes to read the lot and I couldn't
bear the thought of something interesting developing without
understanding the nascent driving forces. Anyway there's enormous fun in
the 'people
watching' and the long term integration of personality profiles.
It'd severely do my 'ead in, if all I had to read was stuff from pillocks
like myself :)

This post made me think of something funny. What if there were two (or
more) different factions in a newsgroup who mutually plonked each other.
For the most part, they wouldn't see each others posts, but they could
still communicate in this forum with their faction mates (so to speak).
Kind of like orthogonal codes.

Kind of funny.

I am thinking of doing some culling myself, after giving Rich Grise
a little time to reconsider. He gave no apparent indication that
he was in any way dissatisfied and then suddenly, out of the blue
came a plonk for behavior that was pretty much indistinguishable
from his own. I have no objection - he is free to read what he
chooses and to refuse to read what he chooses - but I am puzzled.
Please convey to Rich my offer to treat him to a meal at the eatery
of his choice at the time of his choice.

There are newsgroups where everyone has agreed to use "[OT]:" for off-
topic posts and which have on-topic-only communities, offf-topic-only
communities, and individuals who belong to both.

It was for taking yourself entirely too seriously.

And I didn't plonk anybody - I just did that little cartoonie thingie
for the fun of it.

You sounded like you so desperately needed to be plonked by somebody,
I just couldn't stand to see you suffer any more. :) :) :) :) :)

Hope there's no permanent damage. ;-)

The best thing about Burridge plonking lots of people is that they can
all talk about him behind his back.

Is setting up a decent killfilter so hard you actually have to brag
about it? In your case I guess the answer is yes. At least you get to
leave off playing usenet cop.
