I, for one, ain't leaving!

because otherwise I'll be giving these idiots a reason to send each other
virtual high-fives. Oh, no. I'm even going to get some recipes to throw at
them, and they'll be sorry, because most people don't like curry powder by
the cupful like I do.

I do I do!! Send your recipes to me!!! *yum*

My cats are better than some people out there, and I'll keep on saying it
until there is no more breath behind my speech. And too bad if there are
some jerkoffs who don't like it. I'm making my evil laugh now. You're stuck
with me.

I used to say that the only man in my life had 4 paws and fur, but Fin's
gone now, and Rita's a girl. Now the great love of my life is my DVR.

I can go into the block sender list and block entire ISP's if need be.

Well, *that* certainly explains what happened with *my* bank statement!

Do you mean that when I see a whole boatload of sender names on these
threads, they're actually only one or two people hiding behind
thirty-seven
aliases?

Yes. And when you see a member who starts posting *way* out of
character for them, the header is forged, and it's not them at all.


In general, I try to write distinctively. People tend to love or hate
the engineering books I've written, as I use humor scattered through the
details. In like manner, when I post about a health matter, I often go
into details, perhaps as footnotes not to overwhelm.

Indeed, I have been known to reach for the classics, or for assorted
bizarre historical references. In newsgroups, this has a side benefit,
because it's very hard to forge a series of posts that accurately convey
style and specialized knowledge.

I recommend letting your writing style be very personal. It's both more
interesting and harder to forge. Baha, there are usually distinctive
elements in your writing.

Incidentally, there are techniques, and frankly I haven't the time to do
them, to determine, with a high degree of confidence, if assorted
messages are written by the same person. While these are most commonly
used in national intelligence analyses, the basic methods are well known
to people with academic background in linguistics.

Oh -- apropos to that, MY answer to defeating al-Qaeda is to get them in
the habit of using PowerPoint to plan and justify anything.

I just read CatNipped's farewell post with rather a heavy heart. Such a nice

While I have been a less frequent presence lately due to job constraints, I
have been finding certain crosspostings/trollings in recent weeks to be
thoroughly obnoxious. (Some little so-and-so got onto a thread not too long
ago, from a person who had to put their kitty down, and said there is no
God, no afterlife. A sick thing to say to a person who had just lost one who
was vitally important in her life, if you ask me.) If someone does know how
to killfile, do tell me so I can get rid of the little SOB.

Depends upon your browser. With Netscape, when you're in
the newsgroup (reading, not replying), click on "Tools" at
the top of your screen, select "Message Filters", "New" then
use the drop-down menus to choose "Sender" and "is" or
"contains", enter the troll's address and tell it either
"mark message read" (which leaves them on your screen, if
you want to refer to themt, but won't automatically bring
any of them up when you click "next") or "delete message"
(which will keep all that troll's posts off your screen
entirely).

Power Point is the most evil of weapons. :P

With OE, you just click on 'message' on the menu bar & choose 'bloack
sender' from the drop down menu. You can also create rules from 'create rule
from message' - just follow the instructions which appear.

I'm with you. "If there ain't no animals in Heaven, I ain't
going!"

Well, being Pagan, I'm not entirely sure there is a Heaven.

I don't take mythology literally--not the Greek Myths, not the Bible
and not the Rainbow Bridge. What I take out of that story is "animals
and people are going to the same place when we die" and that's
something I've always believed from childhood on.

As for Heaven--or Hell--that's ours to make right here on Earth. And I
know that having four cats piled around me in bed is my idea of Heaven.
